SARAL/AltiKa, 12 years old!
SARAL/AltiKa was launched 12 years ago, on February 25, 2013, as part of a collaboration between the Indian Space Agency (ISRO) and the French Space Agency (CNES).

SARAL opened the doors of interdisciplinarity thanks to the extended capabilities offered by Ka-band, which allowed to open some new frontiers of classical altimetry, such as coastal oceanography, cryosphere sciences and hydrology.
The quality of all products continues to meet and exceed mission requirements after more than a decade of in-orbit operation, making SARAL an important part of our climate and ocean observing systems. Long live SARAL and many thanks to the SARAL teams!
