MEDIA ADVISORY M15-079
Media Accreditation Opens for Launch of Ocean-Measuring Satellite
Registration is open for U.S. and international media to cover the July 22
launch of Jason-3, the fourth mission in a series of satellite missions that
measure the height of the ocean surface.
The Jason-3 mission, led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), will launch from Space Launch Complex 4 East at
Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Due
to U.S. Air Force security requirements, international media must apply for
accreditation at least 30 days before the launch.
Jason-3 is the latest in a series of U.S.-European satellite international
missions that have been measuring the height of the ocean surface for 23
years. Sea level height is a critical piece of evidence about Earth's
natural cycles and climate change. Knowing sea level height also improves
hurricane forecasts, navigation and the efficiency of fisheries and other
offshore industries.
To apply, media should contact Capt. Selena Rodts at 805-606-3595 or
selena....@us.af.mil, or by fax at 805-606-4571. To mail an accreditation
request, send the required information to Rodts at 30th Space Wing Public
Affairs Office, Vandenberg Air Force Base, California 93437.
International media must provide their full legal name, date of birth,
nationality, passport number and media affiliation. U.S. media must provide
their full legal name, date of birth and media affiliation. A valid legal
photo identification will be required for all media upon arrival at
Vandenberg.
The Jason-3 project is managed within NASA by the agency's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory in Pasadena, California. NASA's Launch Services Program at the
Kennedy Space Center in Florida is responsible for launch vehicle program
management of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.
