#Sentinel6

Hello, can you hear me? - Yes, Sentinel-6, we hear you loud and clear! The @CopernicusEU #Sentinel6 Michael Freilich satellite has just sent back its first signals, captured by the North Pole Satellite Station in Alaska. Live at

NOAA puts the odds of a strong-to-very strong El Niño at 83 percent. From orbit, October 2026 (bottom) already looks like October 1997 (top). Map: NASA Earth Observatory / Lauren Dauphin #Sentinel6 #Oceanography #Altimetry #Geoawesome

One last look at @CopernicusEU #Sentinel6 Michael Freilich satellite😍 The satellite has been encapsulated: it now rests inside the two halves of the fairing, waiting for launch on 21 November🚀 You can find more info on the mission at

LIFTOFF🚀🛰️! #Sentinel6 Tune into to follow the live transmission and follow @esaoperations for more detailed updates 🕹️

#Sentinel6 we hear you! The North Pole Satellite Station in Alaska has caught the spacecraft's first signals from space and is locked on to the new mission. Transmission coming into #ESOC #missioncontrol loud and clear. #SignalAquired📶 #AOS #AcqusitionOfSignal

One year of @CopernicusEU #Sentinel6 Michael Freilich! The mission is a cooperation between @EU_Commission, @CopernicusEU, @esa, @eumetsat, @NASAEarth and @NOAASatellites. As this video shows... teamwork makes the dream work😁 (In this video ➡️@craigdonlon) #Seeingtheseas

#Sentinel6 - What, who, why?👇6 key facts about the latest @CopernicusEU Sentinel satellite, set for launch today at 18:17 CET (17:17 GMT). #SpaceCare Live coverage starts 17:45 CET (16:45 GMT) on

The @CopernicusEU #Sentinel6 Micheal Freilich satellite is down there! Not actually down there since the image is from August 2020 😉 This #Sentinel2 capture shows the Vandenberg Air Force Base @30thSpaceWing in California, the launch site of Sentinel-6.

WATCH NOW!🔴 See what it's like to work on a space mission that's about to launch. Go behind the scenes with @NASA project scientist Josh Willis & system safety engineer Jennifer Hasenoehrl before Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich lifts off. (2/3) #SeeingTheSeas #Sentinel6 #Sentinerds

Today, 15:00 CET, follow the @CopernicusEU #Sentinel6 renaming ceremony live. This mission is a joint effort by @NASA, @esa, @NOAA, @eumetsat, @EC_Commission. Streaming available through @NASA TV:

Today, with our @esa, @eumetsat, @EU_Commission and @NOAA partners, we renamed an ocean observation satellite launching this fall in honor of a @NASAEarth scientist. About the mission, now known as #Sentinel6 Michael Freilich:

#Sentinerds getting ready for #Sentinel6 launch! 🛰️ #SeeingTheSeas #Space4climate 🌊(🔊on) #SentinerdsRiseAgain #SociallyDistantSentinerds 📹HD-> @CopernicusEU @ESA @eumetsat @ESA_EO @esaoperations @NASAJPL @NASA @NOAA @NASA_LSP @30thSpaceWing @SpaceX🚀

With every great name, comes a great story. We've teamed up w/ @ESA to release the new name of @CopernicusEU #Sentinel6, a mission extending observations of global sea level change. Join @JimBridenstine & @Dr_ThomasZ for this event:

A sneak peek of the launch site of @CopernicusEU #Sentinel6! In this video, Bill Simpson -Sentinel-6 @esa launch campaign manager- walks us through the team setup at @30thSpaceWing for launch day. Sentinel-6 Micheal Freilich is set to liftoff on Saturday 21 November at 18:17 CET

How will sea-level rise affect us? More than 600 million people live on land that is less than 10 m above sea-level. If today's rate of acceleration continues (3.3 mm/year), by 2100 sea-level rise will have doubled. Learn more ➡ #Sentinel6

An international cooperation, thousands of people involved, years in the making… the @CopernicusEU #Sentinel6 Michael Freilich satellite has finally arrived at the launch site! What are the next steps now? Let's find out together ➡️ 📸 @30thSpaceWing

ESA's #missioncontrol centre is preparing for the launch of #Sentinel6 on 10 Nov. In particular, teams are rehearsing the 'Launch and Early Orbit Phase' – the riskiest period in the fledgling spacecraft's life Find out more🛰️👉

Sea-level rise is one of the most immediate consequences of #climatechange. That's why radar altimetry missions like @CopernicusEU #Sentinel6 Micheal Freilich are so important! The satellite's high-resolution data on sea-level are now available:

Update from the @CopernicusEU #Sentinel6 Michael Freilich launch site 🚀: On the satellite one of the arrays was deployed to check it moved correctly🛰️👌 The two fixed solar arrays are positioned in the form of a tent, which is why the satellite looks like a flying house😆

Measuring sea-level height with cm precision from space: magic? No, satellite altimetry! The technology aboard the soon-to-be launched @CopernicusEU #Sentinel6 satellite is state-of-the-art: how does it work? Find out in this animation
