The spacecraft has been named in the honor of Michael Freilich, who was one of the pioneers in advancing ocean observations from space. Falcon 9 released the satellite and returned back to VAFB via a vertical landing while the Sentinel 6 separated from the rocket\u2019s second stage and started its orbital route. Ground controllers successfully acquired the satellite\u2019s signal, and initial telemetry reports showed the spacecraft in good health. \n\nThe satellite will now follow a series of exhaustive acquisition of data regarding sea level up to an accuracy of 90% of the world’s oceans in the upcoming months. This mission would also help in forecasting weather and climate models by acquiring precise data of humidity and surface temperature of Earth. \n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
