NASA to launch new sea-level tracking satellite on Nov 17
NASA and the European Space Agency will launch their ocean-monitoring satellite, Sentinel-6B, on November 17 from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. The satellite, second in a two-part mission, will eventually take over from its twin, Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, launched five years ago. Its data will help improve public safety and city planning.
