It was a joint mission between NASA and CNES (French space agency). It launched 20 June 2008 and began data collection on 12 July 2008. OSTM measured significant wave height, sigma naught (sigma0), dry and wet troposphere and ionosphere, which can be used to calculate sea surface height and anomalies and total electron content. https://podaac.jpl.nasa.gov/OSTM-JASON2 Group: Platform_Details Entry_ID: OSTM/JASON-2 Group: Platform_Identification Platform_Category: Earth Observation Satellites Short_Name: OSTM/JASON-2 End_Group Group: Platform_Associated_Instruments Short_Name: AMR Short_Name: POSEIDON-3 Short_Name: GPSP Short_Name: LRA Short_Name: DORIS End_Group Group: Orbit Orbit_Altitude: 1336 km Orbit_Inclination: 66 degrees Repeat_Cycle: 10 Day Orbit_Type: LEO > Low Earth Orbit > Polar Non-Sun-Synchronous End_Group Creation_Date: 2008-06-11 Online_Resource: https://sealevel.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/ostmjason2/ Online_Resource: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/ostm/main/index.html Online_Resource: https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/en/missions/current-missions/jason-2.html Group: Platform_Logistics Launch_Date: 2008-06-20 Launch_Site: Vandenberg Air Force Base, USA Design_Life: 3 Years Primary_Sponsor: USA/NASA Primary_Sponsor: USA/NOAA Primary_Sponsor: France/CNES Primary_Sponsor: EUMETSAT End_Group End_Group);
