"SpaceX and NASA team up to monitor air pollution from space"

A new satellite called TEMPO, launched by NASA and the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory on board a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, will measure air pollution on Earth once every hour. The satellite will take high-resolution measurements of ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and other pollutants on Earth, which will be publicly available online. Air pollution is linked to a host of health problems, and TEMPO will provide data that can help people make decisions about their daily activities based on air quality.
