Owners of industrial facilities are now able to monitor all of their facilities, local or remote, anywhere in the world, with a common technology, in near-real-time.

Three more satellites are under construction for launch in early 2022. GHGSat also uses the same instrument technology from its satellites on aircraft, to provide complementary resolution and performance for customers in shale plays.
