Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich Satellite Now in Orbit
The first of two identical spacecraft, was successfully launched into Earth orbit on Saturday, 21 November 2020 to continue sea level observations for at least the next decade. The data from this mission is coming into the PO.DAAC, the official NASA archive for the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich mission and physical oceanography data in general.

New Data in Action: Globally Averaged Sea Level
Globally-averaged, or global mean sea level (GMSL), has been accurately observed by satellite altimeters since the early 1990s. Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich will continue these observations after its launch on November 21, 2020.
