GHGSat is a leader in high-resolution remote sensing of greenhouse gas emissions from space, pioneering the technology to monitor these emissions at the facility level. As a commercial constellation, GHGSat's satellites offer data and intelligence to businesses, governments, and investors to optimize performance and meet environmental standards. GHGSat partners with organizations like the UK Space Agency and utilizes technology developed by the University of Toronto's Space Flight Laboratory, providing methane emission data to entities such as UNEP's IMEO and various oil and gas companies.

Spire will provide GHGSat with an API to receive GHGSat data and operate its payloads.
The three Spire-built satellites are slated to join the six similarly sized spacecraft that GHGSat currently operates in low Earth orbit.
The cubesats built by Spire will be dedicated to GHGSat and will not host other payloads.
Spire will launch three 16U satellites in 2023 that will carry GHGSat payloads.
Spire will launch three 16U satellites in 2023 that will carry GHGSat’s payload.
GHGSat expects to manage three hosted payloads on Spire satellites as part of its growing constellation to provide more facility-level emissions measurements at the lowest detection threshold available today.

All GHGSat high-resolution satellites developed by Space Flight Laboratory are built on the SFL 15-kilogram Next-generation Earth Monitoring and Observation (NEMO) microsatellite platform.
GHGSat is expanding its constellation of methane-monitoring satellites with three new high-resolution commercial satellites expected to launch in spring/summer 2022.
GHGSat-C3, GHGSat-C4, and GHGSat-C5 met their design goals and performed above their baselines in all tested aspects prior to shipment to the launch site.
SFL completed successful testing of GHGSat-C3, GHGSat-C4, and GHGSat-C5, which were planned to launch in summer 2022.
All eight commercial GHGSat satellites (C1 through C8) have been or are being developed using SFL's 15-kilogram Next-generation Earth Monitoring and Observation (NEMO) smallsat platform.
GHGSat first selected SFL in 2013 to develop the GHGSat-D demonstration satellite known as Claire to prove on-orbit stability and sensor pointing on a small satellite platform.
Claire (GHGSat-D) was launched in 2016 and exceeded its objectives.
