It launched December 7, 2001 and began data collection at January 15, 2002. Jason-1 is capable of measuring significant wave height, sigma0, dry and wet troposphere and ionosphere, which can be used to calculate sea surface height and anomalies and total electron content. Jason-1 was decommissioned in June 2013.
