Planet and Carbon Mapper to fly SWIR Tanager SAN FRANCISCO – Planet is developing a new version of its Tanager spacecraft with enhanced capability to detect and monitor methane and trace-gas emissions.
In contrast to the hyperspectral Tanager-1, launched in 2024, the new satellite will "solely target shortwave infrared (SWIR) light" and provide "five times the areas coverage," Planet said in an April 30 news release.
