Category: News of the Jason-3 mission
During a Jan. 15 briefing on NASA Television, panelists gave an overview of the Jason-3 mission – scheduled to launch on Jan. 17 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. Jason-3 is the newest in a series of satellites designed to maintain long-term satellite altimetry observations of global sea surface height. During its mission -- planned to last at least three years, with a goal of five years – the satellite will monitor and precisely measure global sea surface heights, monitor the intensification of tropical cyclones and support seasonal and coastal forecasts. Jason-3 is a partnership between CNES, NASA, NOAA and EUMETSAT.
