CryoSat Mission

CryoSat is a satellite mission by the European Space Agency that monitors Earth's ice at the poles and glaciers worldwide. It uses advanced radar technology to measure ice thickness and volume with high precision, helping scientists understand how ice is changing due to climate change. By detecting even small variations in ice height, CryoSat provides crucial data for assessing sea level rise and the health of polar regions. This information supports climate research, environmental policy, and efforts to predict future changes in Earth's climate system.
