Global Observing Satellite (GOSAT) Series

Japan has launched the Global Observing SATellite (GOSAT) series to observe the concentration of carbon dioxide and methane from space. The series consists of GOSAT (launched in 2009), GOSAT-2 (launched in 2018), and GOSAT-GW (to be launched in 2025). The satellites are intended to monitor concentrations of carbon dioxide, validate national anthropogenic GHG inventories reported by each country, and monitor large emission sources of GHGs.
