SRON is joining forces with Harvard University, who have designed a computing tool for estimating regional methane emissions from TROPOMI data, called the Integrated Methane Inversion (IMI). By automating the process of converting TROPOMI’s observations of methane concentrations into emission values, IMI helps scientists and stakeholders such as national monitoring agencies worldwide to study global methane emissions.

Balloon telescope GUSTO ready for integration with gondola
NASA’s GUSTO balloon telescope has passed its payload pre-shipment review. It will now ship from the University of Arizona to Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory for the final integration onto a gondola. This means GUSTO is on schedule for launch in December from Antarctica. SRON and TU Delft together developed GUSTO’s three 8-pixel cameras that will observe cosmic material between stars.
