Meet ICESat-2, NASA’s coolest satellite! 😎🧊

This space laser measures the height of our changing Earth, one pulse at a time, 10,000 pulses per second. It collects data on the elevation of glaciers, ice sheets, forest canopies, lakes, and more, to provide profiles of change.

Beyond the poles, ICESat-2 measures the height of forest vegetation, water level in lakes and reservoirs, and can even peer through clear, shallow waters to observe coastal seabeds.

ICESat-2 sends pulses of green laser light down to Earth, and times (to a billionth of a second!) how long it takes individual photons to return to its telescope. The laser is nearly impossible to spot from Earth - we’ve only seen images of the beam once. go.nasa.gov/3shHtpX
