NASA's Sentinel-6B satellite launch boosts climate tracking

Technology Dec 04, 2025

NASA just launched the Sentinel-6B satellite with SpaceX, and it's set to seriously level up how we track climate change.
Using advanced radar, it will deliver super-precise sea level data—helping scientists spot rising seas and flood risks early.
This is a big step in NASA's mission to protect vulnerable coastal areas worldwide.

Why Sentinel-6B matters for everyone

Sentinel-6B's data isn't just for scientists—it'll help city planners, governments, and even insurance companies make smarter decisions as climate risks grow.
By detecting tiny sea level changes and gathering atmospheric info, the satellite supports better weather forecasts, disaster planning, and safer building strategies in places most at risk.
