Earth Science Satellite Will Help Communities Plan for a Better Future

A new Earth science mission, jointly led by NASA and the French space agency Centre National deludes Spatulas (CNES), aims to empower communities in planning for a better future by surveying the Earth's salt and freshwater bodies.

The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission's primary objective is to measure water height in various water bodies, including lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and oceans.
