Description: For NASA engineer Shannon Statham, building spacecraft is all about being creative. Every mission is unique. And her latest mission, apart from sewing this space-themed dress herself, is an international satellite that will orbit the Earth and monitor our rising seas, in order to better understand the impacts of climate change on our home planet. Meet the Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite: nasa.gov/sentinel-6 The Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich satellite is part of the Sentinel-6/Jason-CS mission, a collaboration among NASA, ESA, EUMETSAT and NOAA.
