Our shared passion for performing beyond boundaries have come together to support our customers wherever, whenever and whatever their challenges may be.    Follow BAE Systems, Inc. to keep up with our work.  https://bit.ly/4byiIrD

For this #throwbackThursday, here's last year’s inside look at the Environmental Defense Fund's MethaneSAT from The New Yorker, detailing its mission to pinpoint #methane emissions in order to slow down #climate change. 🛰️🌎 📰: https://bit.ly/3n55IW9 Our role on MethaneSAT: https://bit.ly/42Rn2NT

What makes #MethaneSAT unique from other methane monitoring satellites? A 200-kilometer view path coupled with high-resolution sensors will both deliver methane measurements across large geographic areas and at pre-determined locations. This allows stakeholders to track area trends, while also identifying specific emission locations and rates, filling a key measurement gap between point source and global mapping satellites.

From science to sustainable solutions. MethaneSAT will provide data that will help to reduce methane emissions, fostering a more sustainable world. 🌎 Ball Aerospace developed the high-performance advanced spectrometer instrument at the heart of the Environmental Defense Fund's #MethaneSAT mission.

Congratulations to our own Dr. Tami Katz on well-deserved recognition from the International Council of Systems Engineering (INCOSE). Katz was recently elected to the board of directors as the Deputy Director of Technical Operations, and she received an Outstanding Service Award as well as a Working Group Award for Sustained Performance during the International Workshop 2024. We’re so proud of her contributions to the field of systems engineering!   #IW2024 #INCOSEIW #systemsengineering #systemsengineer #aerospace

#ICYMI: We're gearing up for the upcoming launch of MethaneSAT!

Another great #STEM event! Last week, Ball Aerospace’s Micky Masciarelli presented at Northglenn Middle School for their Cookies and Careers speaker series, helping expand student awareness of different career opportunities in aerospace. She shared about her recent work on the James Webb Space Telescope, the most ambitious and complex space science observatory ever built, and a previous role that involved training astronauts!

Successful delivery! We shipped the MethaneSAT satellite to Vandenberg Space Force Base where it is scheduled to launch next month. The mission will provide groundbreaking data on the scale and sources of global methane emissions. 🌎🛰️ "Our hope is that this mission will enable policymakers to establish ambitious emission reduction targets, motivating world leaders to enhance their efforts in capturing and effectively utilizing this valuable natural gas." - Dr. Alberto Conti, vice president and general manager, Civil Space 📰: https://bit.ly/3SZUwqZ

New! ➡ The Weather System Follow-on – Microwave (WSF-M) satellite has successfully shipped to Vandenberg Space Force Base where it is expected to launch late next month. This is the first of two satellites that Ball Aerospace will deliver for the U.S. Space Force's Space Systems Command next-generation operational environmental satellite system. 📰: https://bit.ly/4bHN1wb
