Jason-3 is the newest in a series of satellites designed to maintain long-term satellite altimetry observations of global sea surface height. These data provide critical ocean information that forecasters need to predict devastating hurricanes and severe weather before they arrive onshore. Over the long term, Jason-3 will help us to track global sea level rise, an increasing threat to the resilience of coastal communities and to the health of our environment. The mission is a partnership between NASA, NOAA, Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales, France’s space agency, and the European Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites.

The replacement restored full power to the laboratory three months after the failure of the so-called Sequential Shunt Unit resulted in the loss of one of channels that route electricity to the station systems. Kopra and Peake were making their way through other secondary tasks when Kopra reported a small amount of water in his helmet, forcing an early termination to the excursion. The crew was never in any danger and made an orderly return to the Quest airlock where they removed their suits for inspection and further analysis. The spacewalk was the 192nd in support of space station assembly and maintenance, the third in Kopra’s career and the first for Peake.

In 2010 when President Obama laid out his vision for space exploration, it may have been hard to believe that six years later we’d be regularly transporting cargo to the International Space Station on commercial spacecraft, or that we’d be on the verge of returning launches of American astronauts to the Station from U.S. soil on the spacecraft built by American companies.
Today, that’s our reality.
SpaceX and Orbital ATK are the first commercial space companies to deliver cargo to the ISS.
We’ve also ordered the first missions from SpaceX and The Boeing Company -- the first American companies that will carry American astronauts to space. The first astronauts are now training for test flights aboard commercial spacecraft in preparation for those missions.
