Argus

Greenhouse-Gas Monitoring Mission

Climate change is a global problem requiring immediate and sustained action by the international community. Thoth Technology is developing a microsatellite mission, Argus, to measure greenhouse gases in the surface-troposphere region. Argus will identify sources and sinks and mitigate atmospheric pollution, improving our understanding of global climate science and meeting obligations under the Kyoto Protocol and other treaties.

Argus will deliver near-real time, high quality, information products for use by national and global customers, including governments, industrial emitters, the scientific community, and the forecast community.

CanX-2 Flight Demonstrator

The first Argus space instrument has been developed for York University for qualification flight on the University of Toronto's CanX-2 microsatellite. CanX-2 is scheduled for launch in 2007.
