About
SR CMS (Climate Monitoring System) is a planned high-precision space system for greenhouse gas analysis being developed by SR Space, measuring aerosols, black carbon, CO2, methane, nitrous oxide and sulfur dioxide concentrations using infrared spectrometry. The system comprises three main components: space infrastructure, ground infrastructure, and software/hardware processing systems, with a planned 60 small spacecraft supported by 2 primary ground stations and 100 fixed and mobile ground stations.
SR CMS is intended to enable continuous monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions from major sources such as pipelines, industrial facilities, oil and gas fields, and logistics hubs; to assess environmental and economic damage from emissions; to measure the absorption capacity of natural ecosystems such as forests and wetlands; and to measure sea, ocean and land surface temperatures, wind speed and atmospheric moisture.
