Happy 5th anniversary to #ICESat2!
🥳🛰️🎉
Since its 2018 launch, ICESat-2's height-measuring laser has fired more than 1,500 trillion photons, all to precisely track changes in Earth's ice, water, forests and land.
But the story of ICESat-2 started long before... 📽️

#ICESat2 has got the ice! And let us know if you run out of room in the fridge for all those leftovers…🧊

🍂 This Friendsgiving, you’re all invited to our universal table. Here’s what some of our missions are bringing to the potluck.

Take in the spread, then tell us what you’ll be putting on your plate! - NASA

On the #WinterSolstice, we’re thinking about how the ICESat-2 satellite studies our planet in every season. 🌱☀️🍂❄️

Spend a year with Paige the penguin to learn how #ICESat2 measures the height of trees, mountains, ice sheets and more.

During Monday's #eclipse, light photons from the Sun will be blocked by the Moon, casting a shadow on Niagara Falls.
Today's #PhotonPhriday illustrates how - with no celestial bodies blocking the path - laser photons from #ICESat2 can reach the falls and their famous mist. https://t.co/dUNF12Bzjh

RT @esa_cryosat: Happy birthday #Cryo2ice!

Our collaboration with @NASA_ICE's #ICESat2 is 4 years old today, and this next year is a big one.

The orbits of CryoSat & ICESat2 will come closer than ever this winter, providing an incredible opportunity for researchers 🤩

Happy 2,000,000,000,000th, #ICESat2! 💚 🛰️ 🎉
You don't look a laser pulse over 1.9 trillion.
NASA’s Earth-observing laser in orbit passed a milestone March 9, as it fired for the 2 trillionth time, measuring clouds off the coast of East Antarctica.

How do you use #ICESat2?
This week, we’re meeting people who use NASA’s height-measuring satellite in creative ways to answer questions about our home planet.
First up, mapping coastal seafloors from space.

How do you use #ICESat2?
If you're interested in using lidar data to peer through coastal waters, tune into a @NASAEarthData webinar on the mission's new bathymetry data product. 🛰️🌊📉

A new global along-track #coastal and nearshore #bathymetry NASA ICESat-2 dataset is available. Want to learn more about the product and how to work with the data using SlideRule Earth? Join us tomorrow for a data training webinar.

Did you celebrate Arbor Day Friday? #ICESat2 celebrates - and measures - trees all year long!

The mission's global height data can monitor the height & health of forests around the world. Want to help? You can @DoNASAScience and observe tree heights with the @GLOBEProgram. https://t.co/BB8mkqwlx0
