The heart of SWOT!
A new Earth-observing satellite will survey water on more than 90% of Earth’s surface and see our planet's water in higher definition than ever before. An instrument called the Ka-band Radar Interferometer (KaRIn) is making it possible: go.nasa.gov/3FgGMzQ

Latest International Water Satellite Packs an Engineering Punch
Meet the scientific heart of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography mission, which will see Earth’s water in higher definition than ever before.NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
KaRIn has been designed to capture very precise measurements of the height of water in Earth’s freshwater bodies and the ocean. And unlike other satellites, it can take measurements regardless of cloud cover or time of day.
SWOT is set to launch on Dec. 15. #TrackingWorldWater

NASA Welcomes Nigeria, Rwanda as Newest Artemis Accords Signatories
During the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit in Washington Tuesday, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson joined Under Secretary of State for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment Jose W. Fernandez, U.S.Cheryl Warner (NASA)
Glad 2 know #NASA 's peaceful efforts affecting #Human #OuterSpace cooperation, growth & prosperity, as in our current context of wars between nations, the fragility of cooperative interests is precarious, & these accords will, over the next 500 yrs, limit the oppressive nature of colonialistic expansion into outer space vs peaceful partnerships! Let just relations b our guiding principles!

Alaska has nearly 1 million miles of rivers, but only 10% of them are gauged, or measured.
By #TrackingWorldWater, SWOT will measure the height of surface water from space and help groups like the Alaska Department of Fish and Game better manage salmon spawning and survival.
#NASAEarth
SWOT will allow us to see Alaska’s waters in ways we haven’t before, which is important, because Alaska, being in the Arctic, is also where the U.S. is experiencing the most climate change right now.
