The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite is the latest in a series of satellites that have provided critical data about sea level rise and climate change for almost three decades.
The new ocean-spying bird will be able to measure sea levels within a few centimeters for 90% of oceans around the globe. A twin satellite named Sentinel-6B will join the effort when it launches in 2025. Instruments on the new satellites will also provide data on atmospheric temperature and humidity that'll help improve weather forecasts, according to NASA.
The mission began with the fairly rare launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base on the west coast of the US. A statement from Vandenberg sent out earlier in the week warned that multiple sonic booms might be heard in parts of California's Santa Barbara, Ventura and San Luis Obispo counties as the Falcon 9 first stage returned for a landing after lifting the satellite toward orbit.

The launch limits at Vandenberg are 201 and 158 degrees.
For Kennedy Space Center is 35 degrees and 120 degrees.
It is all about the angle of the dangle.

The boom you heard was Sydney Powell unloading on election officials in Georgia. Sounds like bribes and kickbacks from Dominion.

Private enterprise VS Governments....Best example
