LIVE NOW: Join us as we explore inside the Navy P-3 Orion aircraft at the Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs. As part of a new NASA-led mission called #SnowEx, this aircraft is flying over Grand Mesa and Senator Beck Basin to improve our techniques to determine how much water is stored in snow-covered regions. More accurate snow measurements will help scientists and decision-makers better understand our world’s water supply and better predict floods and droughts.[fb_vid id=”10155104237372139″]LIVE NOW: Join us as we explore inside the Navy P-3 Orion aircraft at the Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs.
