- Description
- Jason-1 was a NASA Earth-orbiting ocean-altimetry mission that monitored sea-surface level and wave heights to improve understanding of ocean circulation, sea-level change, and climate.
- Destination
- Circular, non-sun-synchronous orbit at 1336 km (66° inclination) for precision measurements of ocean-surface height, sea-level change, ocean circulation, and wave heights
- Launch Site
- Outcome
- Launched on December 7, 2001, Jason-1 extended precision measurements of ocean surface topography and supported long-term studies of sea level, ocean circulation, and climate variability.
