About this work
On June 27, 2021, teams from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California and the March Air Reserve Base in Riverside County, California, loaded the scientific heart of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission into a C-17 airplane. The hardware – which includes research instruments – is headed to a clean room facility near Cannes, France, where engineers and technicians will complete assembly of the satellite over the next year.
