#Copernicus #Sentinel6B🛰️🇪🇺 will be launched soon, marking a new chapter in global sea level monitoring🌊

Its radar altimetry data will feed the #CopernicusMarine Ocean Monitoring Indicators (OMI), which provide key information on sea level rise📈 https://t.co/RXfkMfqZIW

📢#Sentinel6B is launching soon! Why does it matter for #CopernicusMarine?

#Sentinel6 is the #Copernicus🛰️🇪🇺 mission dedicated to sea surface level monitoring & its observations feed directly into our products🌊

It’s almost time to launch Copernicus #Sentinel6B! 🚀

Teams in Vandenberg are making final preparations for liftoff at 21:21 local time (17 Nov 06:21 CET, 05:21 UTC)

We have LIFTOFF!

Copernicus #Sentinel6B has launched from Vandenberg in California aboard Falcon 9. 🚀

Soon it will be joining its twin in orbit to ensure continuous, more frequent observations of our oceans.

Next milestones: separation and signal acquisition... https://t.co/EXgOSiL6J3

🚀 Successful launch of Copernicus Sentinel-6B!

The new radar altimetry satellite will deliver ultra-precise measurements of sea level, wave height & wind speed — essential data for the Copernicus Marine Service.

Together with Sentinel-6A, the mission secures Europe’s long-term ocean monitoring capacity and leadership.

Ocean Data = better forecasting and climate insights, safer navigation

The #Sentinel6B 🛰️ launched yesterday from Vandenberg Space Force Base in #California! 🚀

This satellite is part of an international collaboration that will deliver vital #ocean and #atmosphere data, such as #WaveHeights and #MarineWinds, to @NOAA and other global partners.

We have officially taken control of #Sentinel6B! 🕹️

Now on the way to its nominal orbit, it will soon fly in tandem with Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich to ensure precise cross-calibration before becoming the world’s new reference mission for ocean altimetry: https://t.co/0zMC4DKdxb https://t.co/FlWhqDnjVB
