A little over a year after its launch on June 20 2008, Jason-2 remains fully operational and continues to exceed expectations. After a 6-month cross-calibration phase, Jason-2 moved into the orbit of its predecessor, Jason-1. The two ocean-observing satellites have since doubled ocean data coverage by flying on parallel ground tracks until Jason-1 finally reaches the end of its mission life.
