Jason

Overview

Destination: High Earth Orbit
Mission: Earth Science

High Earth Orbit Space Launch Complex 2W Vandenberg SFB, CA, USA

Jason-1 is the first follow-on to the highly successful TOPEX/Poseidon mission that measured ocean surface topography to an accuracy of 4.2 cm, enabled scientists to forecast the 1997-1998 El Niño, and improved understanding of ocean circulation and its effect of global climate.
