TEMPO, the first space-based probe to measure air pollution hourly, captures its first images of air pollution over greater North America. Hosted on a Maxar 1300 spacecraft built for Intelsat, NASA's TEMPO instrument is an advanced spectrometer that detects pollution normally hidden within reflected sunlight. This visualization highlights the stability of Maxar's platforms for Earth science missions. NASA's TEMPO instrument measured concentrations of nitrogen dioxide pollution over North America for the first time on August 2, 2023. The visualization shows six scans made hourly between 11:12 a.m. and 5:37 p.m., with closeups on the I-95 corridor in the US northeast, central and eastern Texas to New Orleans, and the southwest from Los Angeles to Las Vegas. Areas of missing data indicate cloud cover. Credits: Kel Elkins, Trent Schindler, and Cindy Starr/NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio

Caleb Onuonga, a student at San Francisco State University, is spending his second summer at Maxar putting what he’s learned at school to work as a software engineer intern. He is honing both his technical skills and the soft skills essential to the workplace. In particular, he notes his improved ability to communicate effectively with colleagues, which has helped with collaboration and networking across the company. On the technical side, he has learned more about how to implement pytest framework into projects. His advice for other interns? Take it one day at a time since you’re going to get a lot of information in a short time. Also, don’t be afraid to ask questions so you can learn as much as possible and make the most of your internship.
