The new height of Mount Qomolangma, the world s highest peak, is 8,848.86 meters, according to a joint announcement made by China and Nepal on Tuesday.
The accurate height measurement of the world s top serves to symbolize developments in China s surveying and mapping technology.
The latest elevation survey utilized a variety of technologies and equipment, including Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), radar and gravity measurement techniques, remote satellite sensing, and quasigeoid refinement, among other means, with many of the core devices independently developed by China. The gravity measurement used for the mission to calibrate the world s highest peak is the first of its kind.

WASHINGTON (NASA PR) Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich, a joint U.S.-European satellite built to measure global sea surface height, has sent back its first measurements of sea level. The data provide information on sea surface height, wave height, and wind speed off the southern tip of Africa.
“We’re excited for Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich to begin its critical work studying sea level and helping us understand the many aspects of our planet’s global ocean,” said Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA’s associate administrator for science at the agency’s headquarters in Washington. “I know Mike would be thrilled that the satellite bearing his name has begun operating, but he’d al

International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has recognised India s NavIC as a component of the World-Wide Radio Navigation System (WWRNS), Indian Space Research Organisation said on Tuesday. This recognition was awarded in the 102nd meeting of Maritime Safety Committee of IMO (MSC-102) held in November 2020, the space agency said. It said, NavIC has been represented at IMO by the Directorate General of Shipping (DGS), Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways with technical support from ISRO. In April 2020, NavIC L5 has been incorporated in the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services (RTCM) standard 10403.3 for differential Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) applications, ISRO said.
