Sentinel-6B is on its way to continue a 30+ year sea level record! 🚀 Teams have received full acquisition of signal from the satellite, indicating that we are communicating with the satellite and it is functioning nominally. Once in orbit, the satellite’s instruments will be calibrated and validated – meaning we check that the data is accurate and reliable. Sentinel-6B will measure sea level changes over ~90% of Earth’s ocean. Its data will support our daily lives from the shipping industry and national security to weather and storm forecasting. Copernicus Sentinel-6B/Jason-CS is an international collaboration with our partners: European Space Agency - ESA, NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration, EUMETSAT, and Centre National d'Études Spatiales. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gJTSz9D8

Young people: put a reminder on your calendar to check in on this mission every 5-10 years. It will be alive.
