IN SPACE WITH ESA: Copernicus Sentinel-6 measuring sea-levels using radar altimetry

This November the newest member of the EU’s Copernicus programme, Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, will take to the heavens from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. The satellite is named after NASA’s former Director of Earth Observation and is a radar altimetry mission to monitor sea-level rise, wave-height and windspeed. The mission is a collaboration between ESA, the European Commission, EUMETSAT, NASA and NOAA, with support from the French space agency CNES. It will continue a three-decade-long time-series of radar altimetry missions that started with the Topex-Poseidon mission and was then followed by the Jason missions. This VNR includes interviews with Craig Donlon, Sentinel-6 Mission Scientist, ESA and with Anny Cazenave, Senior Scientist, Laboratoire d’Etudes en Géophysique et Océanographie Spatiales (LEGOS), Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES), France WELT Documentary presents this video in cooperation with the European Space Agency. #esa #copernicus #sentinel6 📺 Watch more documentaries    • Full Documentaries   🔔 Subscribe our full documentary channel    / @weltdocumentary
