This Sentinel – 6 Michael Freelich satellite will accurately measure very small changes in sea level and monitor all ocean depths and sea area for almost the entire world. This ocean-monitoring satellite will mainly rely on a set / group of three devices that will provide scientists with the important information to determine the exact position of the spacecraft in the orbit of the Earth.
