YOU are invited to be a virtual guest for the launch of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite.
SWOT is designed to make the first-ever global survey of Earth’s surface water.
Led by NASA and the French space agency Centre National d’Études Spatiales (CNES), SWOT will measure the height of water in lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and the ocean. The SUV-size satellite will improve scientists’ ability to track the movement of water around the world while providing data that will help communities monitor and plan for changing water resources.
SWOT is targeted to launch at 3:46 a.m. PST Thursday, December 15 aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
