NASA Created First Artificial Rain Cloud

Cloud seeding a boost to rainfall over UAE

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is an independent agency of the executive branchof the United States federal governmentresponsible for the civilian space program, as well as aeronautics and aerospaceresearch.

Cloud seeding UAV tested over Nevada is hoped to increase rainfall by 15%

Why Does NASA Study Clouds?

Clouds are important for many reasons. Rain and snow are two of those reasons. At night, clouds reflect heat and keep the ground warmer. During the day, clouds make shade that can keep us cooler. Studying clouds helps NASA better understand Earth's weather. NASA uses satellites in space to study clouds.

NASA also studies clouds on other planets. Mars has clouds that are like the clouds on Earth. But other planets have clouds that aren't made of water. For example, Jupiter has clouds made of a gas called ammonia.

Mission Accomplished

NASA has been trying to create artificial clouds for weeks now, but the weather was never right. Each time it was ready to launch the rocket, there would be clouds or rain or high winds. It was getting to the point some of us were wondering if NASA would ever complete this mission at all.

Last night, our doubts vanished in a puff of blue-green smoke. NASA finally succeeded, and the results were spectacular. If you live within a few hundred miles of Delaware, you could probably could have seen them from your home, and plenty of people posted their photos on social media. In the wetlands of Mississippi, NASA has built a special place where they test their rocket engines.

Something incredible happens whenever these engines are tested—they release a huge amount of

water vapor into the atmosphere which becomes clouds that float over the city! So whenever it rains in Mississippi, it might just be the NASA clouds going about their business.

While they may seem like pollutants, looks can be deceiving because the exhaust, like

any other cloud, is made up of hydrogen and oxygen, the ingredients in water. A homogenitus, anthropogenic or artificial cloud, is a cloud induced by human

activity. Although generally clouds covering the sky have only a natural origin, from the

beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the use of fossil fuels and water vapor and other

gases emitted by nuclear, thermal and geothermal power plants yield significant alterations of the local weather conditions. These new atmospheric conditions can thus

enhance cloud formation. Although this practice is followed by few of the advanced countries and now India will also be counted among those countries.
