The upcoming launch of Sentinel-6B will continue NASA's long-standing record of sea surface height data, aiding in coastal planning, infrastructure protection, and weather forecasting. This satellite, part of a series used since 1992, will cross-calibrate data with its predecessor to provide crucial information about Earth's oceans. The data collected will be essential for managing coastal flooding, supporting hurricane intensity forecasts, and assisting in astronaut return missions. This continued effort will contribute to improved climate solutions and help experts better understand and address the impacts of climate change on our planet's oceans.
