The physical economy — steel, metals, cement, energy — is measured today by the companies inside it, and reported on their schedule. Markets, lenders and regulators then make consequential decisions on those numbers.

An independent measurement of what industrial assets actually produce and emit should exist: not an estimate assembled from disclosure, but a physical observation.

CO₂ is one of the hardest molecules to monitor. Yet it is the universal signal of industrial activity, and one of the defining challenges of this century as the climate destabilises. That is why we set out to measure it from space.

That is a long programme. It is why the company is funded as a space venture and sold as a data platform: the instrument takes years, the measurement is useful now.
