Project Description
Supporting Sustainable Development Through Space Exploration
Meet SWOT, the satellite that will teach us more about Earth’s water than we’ve ever known. SWOT is NASA’s Surface Water and Ocean Topography satellite that will survey more than 90% of the planet’s water, from small freshwater lakes to vast ocean depths. NASA says SWOT’s high-definition instrumentation will provide researchers with an unprecedented view of how water resources are changing and how disaster-preparedness organizations can protect communities.
