Description: Sea level across the globe is rising as a result of a changing climate — and the rates at which it is rising are accelerating. For NASA JPL engineer Parag Vaze, studying Earth’s rising ocean has been a career three decades in the making. The launch of the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite will help Parag continue that legacy. Keep up with the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite: nasa.gov/sentinel-6 The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite is part of the Sentinel-6/Jason-CS mission, a collaboration among NASA, ESA, EUMETSAT and NOAA. Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich will launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California no earlier than Nov. 10, 2020.
