2001-2011: Jason-1 satellite celebrates 10 years of observation
On December 7, 2001, Jason-1 was launched into orbit by Cnes and Nasa. More than a breakthrough in ocean observation, Jason opened a new pathway for radar altimetry, and it has helped to build up a 20-year time series of continuous sea-surface measurements.
