Bookmark or Share- NASA: ICESat & ICESat-2ICESat (Ice, Cloud,and land Elevation Satellite) is the benchmark Earth Observing System mission for measuring ice sheet mass balance, cloud and aerosol heights, as well as land topography and vegetation characteristics. ICESat-2 is the 2nd-generation mission scheduled for launch in late 2015.
- ICESat-2ICESat-2 (short for Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite), slated to launch in 2018, will use lasers and a very precise detection instrument to measure the elevation of Earth’s surface.
- Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) - NASAThe ICESat-2 mission will provide elevation measurements over the Greenland and Antarctica ice sheets to quantify changes in ice-sheet mass, the mechanisms that drive that change (variations in accumulation, changes in ice melt, or ice flow acceleration/deceleration), and the impact of these changes on future global sea level; monitor changes ...
- ICESat-2 - NASA ScienceIce, Cloud, and Land Elevation Satellite 2 active Mission ICESat-2 measures the height of a changing Earth, one laser pulse at a time, 10,000 laser pulses a second.
- ICESat–2 | Earth - NASAThe Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) mission is the second generation laser altimeter designed for cryospheric science measurements. Unlike its single-beam predecessor, ICESat-2 will split a single laser beam into six beams to enable measurement of elevation as well as surface slope, and uses a high-repetition rate laser to ...
