A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launches NASA's Surface Water and Ocean Topography satellite into orbit from Vandeberg Space Force Base in California on Dec. 16, 2022 on a mission to study Earth's surface water like never before.
In a prelaunch press briefing on Wednesday , NASA Earth Science Division Director Karen St. Germain explained the upgrade that SWOT will bring to orbit. "We're constantly having to come up with ways of using data from satellites that weren't designed for what we want to do," he said."We're repurposing other people's data, and we're able to do cool things with that. But SWOT is the first satellite that's specifically designed to study rivers and lakes, and it's going to be a real game changer."
