A cool view from inside the fairing of the Falcon 9 rocket about to launch Copernicus Sentinel-6B!

Part of the @CopernicusEU family, this mission is powered by a unique transatlantic partnership:@EU_Commission, @esa, @eumetsat, @NASA, @NOAA, and @CNES — a collaboration that truly spans oceans.

Launch coverage is now live: https://t.co/Rmu7EHm9H2

Explore #Tunisia's flavors - with a twist!

Chef Boutheina Ben Salem shows us how to make Tunisian Drô, a sweet sorghum porridge. Sorghum isn't just delicious; it's a drought-resilient grain able to grow in poor soils. Watch: https://t.co/9Lhc1NBzjs #TasteOfChange

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

And there it goes!

After separating from @SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, @CopernicusEU Sentinel-6B is now flying solo under the care of @esaoperations.
We’re waiting to receive its first signal📡 https://t.co/pqlMpj2zJb

RT @NASAJPL: Why is Sentinel-6B built to measure the height of the ocean?

Because that measurement can affect our daily life – from improving weather forecasts to helping protect coastal infrastructure like military installations. This data also keeps ships safe at sea, like the ones carrying our packages!
