In 2017, Lunar Outpost invented the Canary. Canary is a first-of-its-kind Environmental and Air Quality monitor that detects pollutants in the air and the surrounding environment, originally developed for NASA’s Gateway. Canary is a unique and innovative solution, featuring technological advancements (connect from anywhere and get actionable, reliable data), small size (smaller than a shoebox), and low cost (tens of thousands of dollars less than traditional air quality equipment).
The Canary detects, analyzes, and reports on pollutants including methane, CO2, CO, H2S, SO2, cancer-causing chemicals, and many more substances and environmental factors. This provides the operators in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, steel manufacturing, rubber manufacturing, regulators and others, with the necessary data to take action to stop pollutant leaks at the source.
Canary Overview
The Canary is a revolutionary, first-of-its-kind monitor, providing the accuracy and reliability of traditional equipment while being 1/100th the cost and size. First introduced in the City and County of Denver, the Canary was instrumental in the region winning the National Bloomberg Mayor's Challenge to improve air quality for school age children. The project attracted international press coverage and led to the creation of Denver's Love My Air Program. Since its inception, Canary’s success has been widely recognized and emulated.
Air Quality and Environmental Health is at the forefront of everyone's mind and for good reason. Poor air quality is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, resulting in trillions of dollars in economic impact. The quality of the air we breathe can now be more widely monitored and we can take action to improve our Environmental Health because of the data Canary collects.
Continuing to drive positive impact today, the Canary has analyzed over 35+ Billion unique data points and helped prevent tens of thousands of tons of Methane from leaking into the air. This is just one conservative data point for one pollutant. There are thousands of Canary units deployed in over 35 states and 12 countries around the world.
Bottom Line: The Canary system led a revolution in air quality and environmental monitoring, fundamentally transforming the way humanity views and interacts with the world around them. Industry leaders have followed Canary’s lead, yielding better, more actionable data which enables the entities who utilize this technology to solve the critical issues of Air Quality and Environmental Health.
The Canary program is rapidly scaling up in the United States and Europe. The future objectives are to further expand into untapped international markets and to continue to improve air quality across the globe.
