TEMPO: Revolutionizing Atmospheric Chemistry Measurements from Space
The January–February 2023 issue of The Earth Observer reported on the successful launch of NASA’s Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) mission on April 7, 2023. The Intelsat 40e Spacecraft is now in its orbital slot positioned at 91°W longitude. On June 7, 2023, the TEMPO instrument was powered on. First-light images are expected in late July, followed by an intensive period of on-orbit instrument characterization activities until October, after which the first Level-2 science data products will be released. Turn to page 5 of the March–April 2023 issue to read about a joint science meeting for the TEMPO, Geostationary Extended Operations (GeoXO) Atmospheric Composition Instrument (ACX) and Tropospheric Ozone Lidar Network (TOLNet) programs that took place May 1–5, 2023. The theme for the meeting was “Building the Pathway from TEMPO to GeoXO.”
