The Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) Core Observatory, a joint Earth-observing mission between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), thundered into space Thursday, Feb. 27 (3:37 a.m. JST Friday, Feb. 28) from Japan. This satellite provides the world with an unprecedented picture of our planet's rain and snow. GPM will help us better understand our ever-changing climate, improve forecasts of extreme weather events like floods, and assist decision makers around the world to better manage water resources.
