    • Description

      CryoSat is a three-year radar altimetry mission to determine variations in the thickness of the Earth’s continental ice sheets and marine ice cover. Its primary objective is to test the prediction of thinning arctic ice due to global warming.
      It will coincide in orbit for at least one year with Envisat, so that instruments can be cross-calibrated.
