NASA LATEST VIDEO | SWOT | Earth Science Setallite Will help Communities Plans For A better Fututer
A new Earth science mission, led by NASA and the
French space agency Centre National d'Études
Spatiales (CNES), will help communities plan for a
better future by surveying the planet's salt and
freshwater bodies. The Surface Water and Ocean
Topography (SWOT) mission will measure the height
of water in lakes, rivers, reservoirs, and the oceans.
As climate change accelerates the water cycle, more
communities around the world will be inundated with
water while others won't have enough. SWOT data will
be used to improve flood forecasts and monitor
drought conditions, providing essential information to
water management agencies, civil engineers,
universities, the U.S. Department of Defense, disaster
preparedness agencies, and others who need to track
water in their local areas. In this video, examples of
how SWOT data will be used in these communities
are shared by a National Weather Service
representative in Oregon, an Alaska Department of
Transportation engineer, researchers from the
University of Oregon and University of North Carolina,
a NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory scientist working
with the Department of Defense, and a JPL scientist
working with the Louisiana Coastal Protection and
Restoration Agency.

SWOT is expected to launch from Vandenberg Space
Force Base in California in December 2022.
The mission is a collaboration between NASA and
CNES, with contributions from the Canadian Space
Agency and UK Space Agency. JPL, which is managed
for NASA by Caltech in Pasadena, California, leads the
U.S. component of the project.
