5 min read Preparations for Next Moonwalk Simulations Underway (and Underwater) Europa Clipper’s radar instrument received echoes of its very-high-frequency radar signals that bounced off Mars and were processed to develop this radargram. What looks like a skyline is the outline of the topography beneath the spacecraft.NASA/JPL-Caltech/UT-Austin The agency’s largest interplanetary probe tested its radar during a Mars flyby. The results include a detailed image and bode well for the mission at Jupiter’s moon Europa. As it soared past Mars in March, NASA’s Europa Clipper conducted a critical radar test that had been impossible to accomplish on Earth. Now that mission…

6 min read Preparations for Next Moonwalk Simulations Underway (and Underwater) Sea surface height can tell meteorologists a lot about extreme storms like hurricanes, including whether they will intensify within a day. This kind of information can help communities better prepare if a hurricane is headed their way. Hurricane Elena is seen here from the space shuttle Discovery in 1985.NASA Sentinel-6B will measure sea surface height for nearly all of the world’s ocean, providing important data for information products, including weather and hurricane forecasts. NASA has a long record of monitoring Earth’s sea surface height, information critical not only for tracking…
