Summary
| Description | B-roll, animations, and soundbites for media and public use. The U.S.-European Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission (SWOT) will observe nearly all water on Earth’s surface. The SUV-size satellite will help researchers understand how much water flows into and out of Earth’s freshwater bodies and will provide insight into the ocean’s role in how climate change unfolds. The spacecraft’s science instruments will also make measurements that can help communities monitor and plan for changing water resources as well as the effects of sea level rise. SWOT is scheduled to launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base in central California no earlier than December 2022. SWOT is a collaboration between NASA and the French space agency Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES), with contributions from the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and UK Space Agency. This reel includes soundbites from SWOT mission team members, animations of how SWOT will operate and collect data, as well as testing that |
