Earth Satellite Joins NASA Fleet to Monitor Sea Level, Improve Weather Forecasts
On Saturday, Nov. 21, a new Earth satellite is joining NASA's fleet to track sea level, improve weather forecasts, and study our changing planet. A U.S.-European partnership, the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite continues a long tradition of collecting scientific data from Earth orbit – a task that's increasingly important for better understanding the causes and effects of climate change.
