It captures data with a Field of Regard (FOR) of 4.76º N/S x 8.95º E/W, a GSD (Ground Sample Distance) of 2.21 x 4.97 km and a spectral range of 290 - 490 nm, 540 - 740 nm (ultraviolet and visible range). TEMPO has dimensions 1.4 x 1.1 x 1.2 m, with a mass of 148 kg. Due to the high spatial and temporal resolution of the spectrometer, TEMPO data will improve emission inventories, monitor population exposure to pollution, and make it possible for regulatory agencies to implement effective emission control strategies. TEMPO is an imaging Offner grating spectrometer that measures solar backscattered Earth radiance, to determine Ozone Mole Fraction, Formaldehyde Mole Fraction and Nitrogen Dioxide Mole Fraction. The TEMPO mission is a single instrument, to be hosted onboard a host spacecraft. Crews recently completed the first fully integrated powered testing of the Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO), instrument on Intelsat IS40e at Maxar Technologies' satellite manufacturing facility in Palo Alto, California (Image credit: Maxar Technologies)
