Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT), also known as Ibuki (Japanese: いぶき, Hepburn: Ibuki, meaning "breath"[4]), is an Earth observation satellite and the world's first satellite dedicated to greenhouse gas monitoring.[5] It measures the densities of carbon dioxide and methane from 56,000 locations on the Earth's atmosphere.[6] The GOSAT was developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) and launched on 23 January 2009, from the Tanegashima Space Center.[6] Japan's Ministry of the Environment, and the National Institute for Environmental Studies (NIES) [7] use the data to track gases causing the greenhouse effect, and share the data with NASA and other international scientific organizations.[5]
