Geodetic Satellite

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005907

An artificial satellite specifically designed to measure the Earth's shape, gravity field, and crustal movements. These satellites carry instruments like altimeters and precise positioning systems to collect data for geodetic studies. Data from these satellites contribute to understanding sea level rise and ice sheet dynamics.
