The Auditor Who Certifies Satellite Math
Satellite methane detection has become operationally reliable faster than the regulatory architecture beneath it can absorb. When Carbon Mapper's Tanager-1 submits a notification under the EPA Super Emitter Programme, an investigation clock starts — but the regulator certifying the method cannot independently reconstruct the spectral retrieval, atmospheric correction, or attribution logic that produced the number. The procedural bridge between orbital detection and a defensible compliance finding does not yet exist.

The Methane Stack Is Being Built From Orbit Down · The EU Isn't Waiting
One satellite, under two years in orbit, and already 5,000 distinct emission sources flagged. The regulation is already here; the hardware is catching up.
