NASA 3D Models: OSTM/Jason-2

Listed in Open NASA

OSTM/Jason-2's primary payload includes five instruments similar to those aboard Jason-1, along with three experimental instruments.

Description

Its main instrument is an altimeter that precisely measures the distance from the satellite to the ocean surface. Its radiometer measures the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, which can distort the altimeter measurements.

Three location systems combine to measure the satellite's precise position in orbit.
