SWOT Mission: Engineer Talks #TrackingWorldWater with Surface Water and Ocean Topography Satellite

What is the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission? This international satellite is set to help researchers track the volume and location of water – a finite resource – around the globe. Hear about the important aspects of this upcoming Earth science mission from engineer Chris Aceves. SWOT is set to launch no earlier than November 2022. (Note: There were technical difficulties during this recording, and interference can be heard at the 7:36 mark. It lasts about 90 seconds, and we thank you for bearing with us.)
