The instruments left NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., on May 19 and arrived at the Thales Alenia Space Integration Center in Cannes, France on May 22. There they were integrated with the Jason-3 spacecraft and tested in preparation for a July 2015 California launch. Jason-3 is a joint mission with CNES, EUMETSAT, NASA, and NOAA to measure ocean topography.
