A new satellite named MethaneSAT is set to launch in 2023 to help tackle methane leaks, which is a significant contributor to global warming. The Environmental Defense Fund is leading this project with the aim of detecting and measuring methane emissions from space. This mission will provide vital data and insights for governments, businesses, and the public, and encourage actions towards reducing methane emissions. #MethaneSAT #MethaneLeaks #ClimateChange
