NASA to launch 'Sentinel-6' satellite to track Earth's rising sea level, how to watch live

NASA is set to launch world's newest ‘sea level-measuring’ satellite named Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich on v. 21 at 9:17 am PT. Orbiting at over 830 miles above planet Earth, satellite dubbed as ‘Dog kennel’ will monitor global sea levels in an initiative to combat risks associated with climate change. NASA’s next-generation craft was manufactured in collaboration with European ncy and will launch on Saturday from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, US. 

According to an update shared by ncy, historic truck-size satellite launch through X’s Falcon 9 rocket will be live-streamed across various platforms, including NASA TV, NASA’s Facebook, and on NASA and JPL’s official Twitter handle. launch cover of Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite which will commence at 8:45 am PST (11:45 a.m. EST) will also be updated on NASA’s official blog. Launch Reiness Review for satellite has alrey concluded. NASA’s Launch Services Program, X, European ncy (ESA), and AA will lift off mission from Launch Complex 4. “Currently, 30th Wing wear forecast is 80 percent ‘go’ for launch, with a 20% chance of violating wear constraints,” NASA informed. 

vanced metering accuracy

While many satellites over years have assisted scientists in wear-related information, NASA’s latest launch will focus on tracking more accurate updates about sea levels. 'Dog Kennel', as per NASA’s scientists is equipped with vanced techlogy that will ensure a higher metering accuracy which can trace gigantic topographical features on Earth’s surface such as lakes, Gulf Stream, Large water bodies, and minute n-traceable features from such as thin shorelines. satellite can also trace hurricanes and or natural calamities that might impact sea levels.

Sentinel-6 is expected to accumulate  wear forecasting data in such as humidity and atmospheric temperature to help scientists research impact of changing global sea levels.  launch is a part of a two-pronged mission and a twin satellite, second, Sentinel-6B satellite will lift off in 2025.

“This mission is a global partnership that is needed to study our planet because it is ours,” Thomas Zurbuchen, associate director of NASA’s Science Mission Directorate, said during a press conference.

“To understand what climate change means to humankind, science must take a long look. This mission is to follow 30 years of continuous measurements by craft that orbit Earth,” he said.  Furr, Zurbuchen ded that NASA will have “ar dece” of important measurements from this perspective.
