SpaceX Launches Sentinel-6B to Monitor Sea Levels

(MENAFN) SpaceX successfully propelled a Falcon 9 rocket carrying the ocean-monitoring Sentinel-6B satellite at 5:21 am UTC Monday (9:21 pm PST Sunday) from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, according to NASA.

NASA stated that “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.”

Created by NASA in collaboration with US and European partners, Sentinel-6B is intended to track sea levels “down roughly an inch” over nearly 90% of the planet’s oceans.

NASA added that Sentinel-6B will operate alongside its “twin” satellite, Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, which was deployed in 2020.
