The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) pressed the button for an important project. He started the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission in order to conduct detailed research on the water map of our planet’s oceans, lakes, rivers, in short.
SWOT will create the most comprehensive map of surface water
It was launched on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched from Space Launch Complex 4E at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. The spacecraft was sent to study the oceans, seas, streams and lakes on Earth in detail from space.
SWOT is carried out to reveal the clearest flow of water on the planet. In addition, the mission will monitor progress, closely monitoring the effects of climate change. On the subject, NASA President Bill Nelson made the following statements.
Warmer seas, extreme weather conditions, more severe forest fires. These are just a few of the consequences humanity is facing due to climate change. The climate crisis requires an all-encompassing approach, and SWOT is a long-term international partnership that will ultimately better equip communities to face these challenges.
NASA explained: Elon Musk can complicate our work!
The head of NASA expressed that he was very concerned about Elon Musk’s recent attitudes. The president thinks duties will be disrupted.
NASA has been working on the project for nearly 20 years. Collaboration with Elon Musk’s SpaceX was carried out in carrying the project to space. The project will collect height and surface measurements of all puddles in high resolution detail. It will do this using microwave radar technology.
