Ka SpaceX Falcon 9 e phethela ka katleho ho tsebisoa, satellite e ncha - ea morao-rao letotong la lisathalaete tse ntlafalitsoeng ka kopanelo ke Yuropa le USA - e reretsoe ho lekola bophahamo ba leoatle ho sebelisa theknoloji ea morao-rao ea radar altimetry.
Ho ea ka European Space Agency, litekanyo tsena li bohlokoa molemong oa mahlale a leholimo le ho etsa maano.
E nkile sathalaete ea Sentinel-6 ea lithane tse 1,2, rokete ea Falcon 9 e ile ea tloha Vandenberg Air Force Base e California ka la 21 Pulungoana.
Sathalaete e ile ea tsamaisoa ka potoloho ka tlase ho hora kamora hore sefofane se tlohe 'me khokahano e thehiloe ka katleho seteisheneng sa lefatše se Alaska.
Motsamaisi oa ESA ea Mananeo a Tebello ea Lefatše, Josef Aschbacher, o ile a re:
“Ke motlotlo haholo ha ke bone ho phahama ha Copernicus Sentinel-6 phirimaneng ena mme kea tseba hore e tseleng ea ho qala thomo ea eona ea ho ntšetsa pele litekanyo tsa bophahamo ba leoatle tse hlokahalang ho utloisisa le ho lekola boemo bo tšoenyang ba maoatle a ntseng a phahama. ”
"Ha ke rate feela ho leboha lihlopha tsa ESA tse sebelitseng ka thata ho fihla ntlheng ena, empa hape le EC, Eumetsat, NASA, NOAA le CNES, mme, ehlile, re labalabela ho ntšetsa pele tšebelisano-'moho e behang litholoana lipakeng mekhatlo ea rona e fapaneng. ”
Litekanyo tsa bophahamo ba bokaholimo ba leoatle li qalile ka 1992 mme Copernicus Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich e reretsoe hore haufinyane e nke molamu ebe e holisa lethathamo lena la sebopeho sa leoatle.
Morero o na le lisathalaete tse peli tse ts'oanang tse qalileng ka tatellano, ho bolela ESA, ka hona, ka lilemo tse hlano, Copernicus Sentinel-6B e tla tsebisoa ho nka puso. Morero ka kakaretso o tla netefatsa tsoelo-pele ea data ho fihlela bonyane 2030, e re.
Sathalaete e 'ngoe le e' ngoe e na le altimeter ea radar, e sebetsang ka ho lekanya nako eo e e nkang bakeng sa maqhubu a radar ho etela lefats'eng la Lefatše ebe e khutlela hape ho satellite. E kopantsoe le tlhaiso-leseling e nepahetseng ea sebaka sa satellite, litekanyo tsa altimetry li fana ka bophahamo ba bokaholimo ba leoatle.
Sephutheloana sa lisebelisoa tsa sathelaete se boetse se kenyelletsa radiometer ea microwave e tsoetseng pele e ikarabellang bakeng sa mouoane oa metsi sepakapakeng, o amang lebelo la methapo ea radar ea altimeter.
U ka bala ho eketsehileng webosaeteng ea ESA.
