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

💪 Early warning systems are expanding!

According to the latest #StateOfClimate Update for 2025, since 2015, the number of countries reporting multi-hazard early warning systems (MHEWSs) has more than doubled – from 56 to 119 in 2024.

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!
