Sentinel-6 will provide the only means of accurately measuring global sea level, helping to protect the 600 million people who live in vulnerable coastal areas across the globe, the UK government said.The satellite is named after the former head of NASA's Earth science division - Dr Michael Freilich - and is a part of the Copernicus mission under the European Union's Earth observation program.
It was jointly developed by ESA, the European Organisation for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites, NASA, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. UK science minister Amanda Solloway said:"Tracking rising sea levels is one of the most important indicators of our planet warming up.
"This government-backed satellite will arm our leading scientists, researchers and meteorologists with critical data to measure the true impact of climate change on our planet".
