TEMPO Mission
News: Recently, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched the Tropospheric Emissions Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) instrument from Florida.
About:
TEMPO is a NASA device that can track air pollution over North America from space. It will allow scientists to monitor air pollutants and their emission sources down to the neighbourhood level.
The TEMPO instrument is a grating spectrometer, sensitive to visible and ultraviolet wavelengths of light.
Key features and applications:
TEMPO is hosted on an Intelsat communications satellite in geostationary orbit.
It will be able to measure atmospheric pollution down to a spatial resolution of 4 square miles or neighbourhood level.
TEMPO will have multiple applications from measuring levels of various pollutants to providing air quality forecasts and helping the development of emission-control strategies
More than 40% of the US population live in places with unhealthy levels of particle pollution or ozone, and air pollution is blamed for some 60,000 premature deaths a year.
