NASA's TEMPO Satellite: Extending Life and Monitoring Air Pollution

NASA's Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) satellite, designed to measure air pollution, has shown promising results since its launch in April. NASA officials are aiming to extend its lifespan to 10 years and are taking extra precautions to ensure its longevity. TEMPO provides hourly measurements of pollutants such as ozone, nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, formaldehyde, and aerosols over North America. The data collected will be shared with NOAA and the EPA to improve air quality forecasts. TEMPO is part of a virtual constellation that includes other satellites to monitor air pollution over the Northern Hemisphere.
