"Unveiling the World's Top Methane Emitters: Satellite Images Expose the Source"

Satellite images from environmental intelligence company Kayrros have identified the world’s 1,300 largest methane-polluting sites, exposing gas wells, pipelines, coal mines, and waste sites in countries like Turkmenistan, India, Russia, Australia, and the United States. This revelation presents an urgent call to action and an opportunity for targeted reduction, as methane has a significant impact on Earth's temperature and public health. With national methane monitoring and repair policies being implemented and over 150 world governments joining the Global Methane Pledge, the path to a cooler future is illuminated, while Kayrros plans to continue monitoring and sharing its findings to hold governments and businesses accountable.

"US Spy Satellite Agency's 'Silent Barker' Mission Faces Delays Due to Tropical Storm Idalia"

The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is breaking its tradition of secrecy by providing more information about its upcoming launch of the "Silent Barker" mission. The NRO aims to be more transparent about its capabilities as the space environment becomes more congested and competitive. The mission, in partnership with the US Space Force, will deploy satellites to geosynchronous orbit to track and monitor potential threats to valuable assets in space. The Silent Barker satellites will provide continuous surveillance and maintain custody of objects in geosynchronous orbit, enhancing the US military's ability to detect and respond to potential threats.
