NASA: Meet SWOT Mission Makers - 08-15-26 (08-10-36)

We went live with Christine Gebara, an integration and test engineer on the SWOT mission who worked on the spacecraft's deployable antennas ahead of its launch last month. The international Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite, will track water on more than 90% of Earth's surface — and it's currently in low-Earth orbit as it prepares to send back science later this year. Watch the conversation as we talk about the engineering aspects of SWOT and how Christine's lifelong love of water inspired her to study aerospace engineering. We went live with Cedric David, a freshwater scientist who will use data from the international Surface Water and Ocean Topography satellite (SWOT), which is scheduled for launch on Dec. 15, 2022. Watch the conversation as we talk about water, climate change, and next week’s launch. We went live with Marc Simard, a senior scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory who has seen firsthand how climate change affects deltas and estuaries and how the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite will help monitor these changes around the globe. Watch the conversation as we talk about water, climate change, and its impact on local communities.
