May 21, 2021 – Ball Aerospace Ships Pollution Monitoring Instrument

Ball Aerospace shipped NASA’s Tropospheric Emission: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) spectrometer, an air quality monitoring instrument, to the spacecraft manufacturer for integration. The imaging spectrometer, which senses ultraviolet and visible light, will make precise measurements of the key constituents of air pollution that have the greatest impact on human health and agriculture productivity. The TEMPO mission is scheduled to launch in 2022.
