MethaneSat, a satellite funded by Jeff Bezos and others in tech, aimed to track methane pollution worldwide.
Since June 20th, MethaneSat has been unresponsive, losing power and possibly unrecoverable, according to the Environmental Defense Fund.
Costing $88 million, with a $100 million grant from the Bezos Earth Fund, MethaneSat was launched in March last year but has encountered issues with its power.
Despite the setback, efforts to process the data MethaneSat had gathered are ongoing in the hopes of limiting methane pollution.
