00:00:22.200 --> 00:00:26.100
Welcome back to Earth from space the Vandenberg Air Force Base

00:00:26.100 --> 00:00:28.200
in California with the Copernicus.

00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:31.700
Sensible 6 Michael freilich satellite will soon learn from is

00:00:31.700 --> 00:00:34.200
featured in this image captured by the central to Mission.

00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:39.900
The area pictured here shows Santa Barbara County in the southern

00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:41.900
region of the US state of, California.

00:00:43.900 --> 00:00:48.200
Located around 200 kilometers Northwest of Los Angeles the county

00:00:48.200 --> 00:00:51.800
spends across seven thousand square kilometers that is bordered

00:00:51.800 --> 00:00:55.300
by the Pacific Ocean to the west and south the counting

00:00:55.300 --> 00:00:58.500
Clues the coastal city of Santa Barbara partially visible

00:00:58.500 --> 00:00:59.900
in the lower right of the image.

00:01:02.700 --> 00:01:06.400
Santa Barbara lights between the steeply Rising Sun sin is Mountain

00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:10.700
visible in dark green directly above and the Pacific Ocean.

00:01:12.300 --> 00:01:15.600
the mountains rise dramatically behind the city with several

00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:17.600
Peak succeeding 1200 m

00:01:21.300 --> 00:01:24.700
Are the mountain ranges in accounting Clovis and Rafael mountains

00:01:24.700 --> 00:01:26.100
visible directly above?

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:28.600
Sierra Madre Mountains

00:01:30.700 --> 00:01:33.400
most of the mountainous areas within Los Padres National

00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.800
Forest, California second largest National Forest

00:01:39.400 --> 00:01:43.300
The County's most populous city is Santa Maria visible in the

00:01:43.300 --> 00:01:47.000
top left of the image surrounded by a patchwork of agricultural

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:47.300
plots.

00:01:48.700 --> 00:01:52.400
Like many other cities in California found somebody experiences

00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:53.400
a Mediterranean climate.

00:01:55.600 --> 00:01:59.300
Hello something idealize the Vandenberg Air Force Base visible

00:01:59.300 --> 00:02:00.200
along the coast.

00:02:02.200 --> 00:02:05.300
it is he with the Copernicus Center 06 Michael freilich

00:02:05.300 --> 00:02:06.400
satellite was launched from

00:02:07.600 --> 00:02:11.100
a joint European us satellite built in one of the sea levels.

00:02:11.100 --> 00:02:15.700
The satellite will lift up a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on Saturday

00:02:15.700 --> 00:02:16.800
21st of November.

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.500
The satellite was named after Michael freilich before NASA director who

00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:24.500
advocated for advancing satellite measurements.

00:02:24.500 --> 00:02:29.000
I will extend a nearly 30-year continuous data said on sea level.

00:02:31.900 --> 00:02:35.100
It will be the first to develop satellite to be given a ride

00:02:35.100 --> 00:02:40.700
into space on the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket famously Falcon 9 is

00:02:40.700 --> 00:02:43.200
partially reusable unlike most Rockets.

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.100
What's an orbit above Earth The Sentinel six Michael Frolik

00:02:48.100 --> 00:02:51.500
satellite will collect sea level measurements to 95% of Earth's

00:02:51.500 --> 00:02:52.900
ice free oceans.

00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.300
The date will be essential for climate science policy making

00:02:57.300 --> 00:02:59.300
and protecting those in low-lying regions.
