ICESat-2 Outreach

ICESat-2 is a satellite mission launched in September 2018. ICESat-2 uses green lasers to measure the height of Earth's ice-covered regions to track melting and other changes. From space, it will also measure the height of other features of our planet, including land, trees and shrubs, water and even buildings. Visit ICESat-2’s Funzone for videos, hands-on activities, interactives, and citizen science opportunities.
