TOPEX/Poseidon Artist's Concept

This is an artist's concept of the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich spacecraft.

It's hard to "see" sea level rise by just looking at the ocean, but its effects are very real.

This visualization shows total sea level change between 1992 and 2019, based on data collected from the TOPEX/Poseidon, Jason-1, Jason-2, and Jason-3 satellites. Blue regions are where sea level ha...

NASA and its partners announced the renaming of the mission, previously known as Sentinel-6A/Jason-CS.
