New Zealand officials said on Wednesday that a $ 88 million (€ 77.4 million) satellite supported by Jeff Bezos has disappeared into space.MethanasetSorted greenhouse gas emissions Along with “unprecedented resolution”, was also funded by Wellington and US-based Environmental protection fund, However, the satellite was suffering from technical problems and recently stopped responding to its earth-bound controllers.“Clearly, this is a disappointing development,” said Andrew Johnson, a senior officer of the New Zealand Space Agency.“As those who work in the space field know, space is naturally challenging, and every effort, successful or not, we push the boundaries of what we know and what we are able to do.”The project is not meaningless, EDF argues:The Environment Protection Fund (EDF), who was in charge of the project, stated that it was “difficult news”, but would not rely in its efforts to track methane.EDF Senior Vice President Amy Middleton said, “We are seeing it as a shock, not failure.” “We have made so much progress and have learned a lot that if we had not taken this risk, we would not have learned any of these.”Methansat’s launch in March last year was a milestone in a year -long campaign, blaming some 120 countries for curbing 2021. Methane emissions,This demanded to help in implementing another pledge from 50 oil and gas firms made at the Dubai COP28 Climate Summit in December 2023 to eliminate methane and regular gas flaminging.Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas, with 80 times warming power of carbon dioxide over a period of 20 years.Scientists say that there is a capping of leaks from oil and gas wells and equipment, therefore, is one of the fastest ways to deal with global warming.EDF was promoted $ 100 million funding Bezos Earth Fund In 2020 and other financial assistance from Arnold Ventures, The Robertson Foundation and Ted Audius Project and EDF donors. The mission was also partnered with the New Zealand Space Agency.
