U.S. Air Force Senior Airman John Velasquez, 21st Logistics Readiness Squadron weather flight weather forecaster, checks radar imagery for future weather events at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado, Dec. 9, 2021. Terrestrial weather, or weather on Earth, like rain, snow and dense cloud cover can disrupt and block signals traveling between satellites and ground stations, making it difficult to control space assets and gather information.
