The Sentinel-6A/Jason CS satellite, scheduled to launch this fall from Vandenberg Air Force base in California, will now be known as Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich.
NASA and its partners are developing the mission with support from the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES), France's space agency.
Unlike many of the traditional Earth observation platforms, the space station orbits Earth in an inclined equatorial orbit that is not sun-synchronous.
