Airborne Science Program

The Airborne Science Program involves using specialized aircraft equipped with scientific instruments to study the Earth's atmosphere, land, and oceans. These research flights collect data on weather patterns, climate change, pollution, and natural phenomena, providing critical insights that ground-based observations alone cannot capture. By deploying instruments on airplanes, scientists can access hard-to-reach areas, gather real-time information, and support environmental research and disaster response efforts. This program enhances our understanding of the Earth’s systems, helping inform policies and solutions for environmental stewardship and resilience.
