TanSat, also known as CarbonSat, is a Chinese Earth observation satellite dedicated to monitoring carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere. It is generally classified as a minisatellite, and is the first dedicated carbon mission of the Chinese space program.[1] The mission was formally proposed in 2010, and work began in January 2011.[3] It is funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) and was built by the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem And Information Technology (SIMIT).[3]

TanSat carries two instruments: the Carbon Dioxide Spectrometer and the Cloud and Aerosol Polarimetry Imager. The Carbon Dioxide Spectrometer (CDS), also called CarbonSpec, is a high-resolution grating spectrometer which measures CO2 absorption at 1.61 μm and 2.06 μm, and O2 absorption in reflected sunlight at 0.76 μm. The Cloud and Aerosol Polarimetry Imager (CAPI) is a wide-field, moderate-resolution, imaging spectrometer which works in concert with CDS by compensating for measurement errors caused by clouds and aerosols. It makes observations in ultraviolet (0.38 μm), visible (0.67 μm), and near infrared (0.87 μm, 1.375 μm, and 1.64 μm).[5]

Der Satellit wurde am 21. Dezember 2016 um 15:22 Uhr UTC mit einer Langer-Marsch-2D-Trägerrakete vom Kosmodrom Jiuquan in eine sonnensynchrone Umlaufbahn gebracht. Zusammen mit Tansat wurden drei Erdbeobachtungs-Mikrosatelliten (einer mit hochauflösender Kamera sowie Spark01 und Spark02 mit einer Multispektralkamera) gestartet, die für land- und forstwirtschaftliche Zwecke und für das Umweltmonitoring verwendet werden sollten.[3]- [en] TanSat

TanSat, также известный как CarbonSat — первый китайский спутник для измерения и мониторинга уровня CO2 в атмосфере Земли. Данные, полученные спутником, помогут лучше понять глобальное распределение углекислого газа в атмосфере, изменение его уровня со временем и влияние его на мировой климат.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
