CryoSat-1, also known as just CryoSat, was a European Space Agency satellite which was lost in a launch failure in 2005. The satellite was launched as part of the European Space Agency's CryoSat mission, which aims to monitor ice in the high latitudes. [1] The second mission satellite, CryoSat-2, was successfully launched in April 2010. [2]

CryoSat is the first ESA mission dedicated to study the Earth's cryosphere, but during the course of the mission applications for oceanography have been discovered. This satellite replaced the original CryoSat which was lost due to a launch failure in October 2005.

2012年5月30日 · CryoSat (Earth Explorer Opportunity Mission-1) Overview. CryoSat is the first Earth Explorer Opportunity Mission in ESA's Living Planet Program; it is a next-generation radar altimetry mission dedicated to observations of the polar regions.

CryoSat borrows synthetic aperture radar and interferometry techniques from standard imaging radar missions to sharpen its accuracy over rugged ice sheet margins and sea ice in polar waters. It measures 'freeboard' - the difference in height between sea ice and adjacent water - as well as ice sheet altitude, tracking changes in ice thickness.

“冷卫星”（Cryosat），又名“地球探测者机会任务”，是“欧洲地球探测者计划”的一颗卫星，由阿斯特里姆公司研制。 该卫星采用雷达高度计测量地球陆地和海洋冰盖厚度变化，尤其是对极地冰层和海洋浮冰进行精确监测，研究全球变暖对其影响。

Unfortunately, the CryoSat-1 satellite was lost due to a launch failure on October 8, 2005 (ESA news release). CryoSat-2, identical to CryoSat-1, launched successfully on April 8, 2010 ( ESA news release ).

CryoSat is an ESA programme to monitor variations in the extent and thickness of polar ice through use of a satellite in low Earth orbit. The information provided about the behaviour of coastal glaciers that drain thinning ice sheets will be key to …

2023年1月14日 · The CryoSat uses radar altimeters to determine the thickness of Earth's continental ice sheets and marine sea ice cover. CryoSat is an Earth Explorer Opportunity Mission in ESA's Living Planet Program. Mission elements are: Radar Altimetry Mission with different novel observation techniques
