00:00:01.835 --> 00:00:04.838
To know Earth, we must know our oceans.

2
00:00:06.206 --> 00:00:09.342
Water
is the lifeblood of our planet, integral

3
00:00:09.542 --> 00:00:12.545
to all of its dynamic systems.

4
00:00:16.383 --> 00:00:19.319
Oceans are crucial,
conveyor belts distributing.

5
00:00:19.319 --> 00:00:20.687
Heat around the globe
and impacting climate and weather.

6
00:00:20.687 --> 00:00:22.522
Heat around the globe
and impacting climate and weather.

7
00:00:24.124 --> 00:00:26.960
With eyes in the sky,
NASA's unique perspective

8
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:29.996
gives an unprecedented view
of our blue marble home.

9
00:00:31.197 --> 00:00:32.265
But how well

10
00:00:32.265 --> 00:00:33.751
can a space agency

11
00:00:33.751 --> 00:00:35.268
really know our oceans?

12
00:00:37.604 --> 00:00:39.239
more than you might think.

13
00:00:39.239 --> 00:00:42.442
the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration, present

14
00:00:42.542 --> 00:00:48.381
the first Seasat collected data
for 99 days Since 1968, weather satellites

15
00:00:48.381 --> 00:00:49.516
have given us the ability

16
00:00:49.516 --> 00:00:52.812
to observe and track a hurricane
from the time of its birth,

17
00:00:52.812 --> 00:00:57.557
for the first time, ocean currents can be mapped
from space with a sufficient accuracy

18
00:00:57.557 --> 00:01:00.560
to study their effects on global weather
and the climate.

19
00:01:00.727 --> 00:01:04.431
The original idea behind SeaWiFS,
was to monitor the color of the ocean.

20
00:01:04.631 --> 00:01:06.666
Project that we're involved in
is called names,

21
00:01:06.666 --> 00:01:09.302
as kind of started from space
and worked its way down to the ocean,

22
00:01:14.274 --> 00:01:15.175
Drop

23
00:01:20.747 --> 00:01:26.647
SWOT will give us an unprecedented view
of our planet's water system

24
00:01:34.127 --> 00:01:34.694
liftoff.

25
00:01:34.694 --> 00:01:37.197
Of the Falcon nine and pace.

26
00:01:37.197 --> 00:01:40.133
Helping
keep pace with our ever changing ocean

27
00:01:40.133 --> 00:01:41.734
and atmosphere.

28
00:01:45.638 --> 00:01:46.739
The earth coming up.

29
00:01:46.739 --> 00:01:48.741
Wow. That pretty.

30
00:01:49.242 --> 00:01:50.810
We live on an ocean world.

31
00:01:50.810 --> 00:01:54.407
And to explore our oceans is to uncover our home.
