Happy 5th anniversary to #ICESat2!
🥳🛰️🎉
Since its 2018 launch, ICESat-2's height-measuring laser has fired more than 1,500 trillion photons, all to precisely track changes in Earth's ice, water, forests and land.
But the story of ICESat-2 started long before... 📽️

On the #WinterSolstice, we’re thinking about how the ICESat-2 satellite studies our planet in every season. 🌱☀️🍂❄️
Spend a year with Paige the penguin to learn how #ICESat2 measures the height of trees, mountains, ice sheets and more.

During Monday's #eclipse, light photons from the Sun will be blocked by the Moon, casting a shadow on Niagara Falls.
Today's #PhotonPhriday illustrates how - with no celestial bodies blocking the path - laser photons from #ICESat2 can reach the falls and their famous mist. https://t.co/dUNF12Bzjh

ICESat-2 (short for Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite), slated to launch in 2018, will use lasers and a very precise detection instrument to measure the elevation of Earth’s surface. By timing how long it takes laser beams to travel from the satellite…

You don't look a laser pulse over 1.9 trillion.
NASA’s Earth-observing laser in orbit passed a milestone March 9, as it fired for the 2 trillionth time, measuring clouds off the coast of East Antarctica.

How do you use #ICESat2?
This week, we’re meeting people who use NASA’s height-measuring satellite in creative ways to answer questions about our home planet.
First up, mapping coastal seafloors from space.
