I am really excited to announce that i’ve been invited to Wallops Space Flight Center to participate in NASA Airborne Science Hurricane and Severe Storm Sentinel (HS3) media day September 11, 2014. I will also have a special guest traveling with me, none other than that plucky Commander - Camilla Corona! Camilla and I will tour the HS3 Mission facilities at Wallops and visit the aircraft, scientists, engineers, pilots, control rooms, hangers and runways September 11 through 14, 2014.
HS3 is in its last year of a 5 year mission to study how Atlantic Basin hurricanes form and intensify. They have already collected some incredible data and learned many new things about these storms. I can’t wait to take part in this year’s mission. Science flights begin September 3rd, and with any luck, a science flight will take place while I am at Wallops.
Please send me your questions about hurricanes, the HS3 Mission, NASA Airborne or Wallops Space Flight Center and Camilla and I will do our best to find you the answers. And if you are at Wallops Sept 11-14, come meet us and get your photo with our beloved Commander!
