SpaceX Successfully Launches Sentinel-6B Satellite
(MENAFN) NASA reported that SpaceX successfully sent a Falcon 9 rocket into orbit, carrying the ocean-monitoring Sentinel-6B satellite.
The launch occurred at 5:21 am UTC on Monday (9:21 pm PST on Sunday) from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
“The satellite will build on over 30 years of sea level data to improve weather forecasts, keep ships safe at sea, and protect coastal communities,” stated NASA.
Created by NASA in collaboration with partners from the United States and Europe, Sentinel-6B is engineered to track sea levels “down roughly an inch” over approximately 90% of the planet’s oceans.
According to NASA, Sentinel-6B will operate alongside its “twin” satellite, Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, which was deployed in 2020.
