Title
ER-2 Airborne Science Aircraft
Full Description
First acquired in 1981, NASA has been using two ER-2
Airborne Science aircraft as flying laboratories. The aircraft
once based at Ames Research Center now fly out of Dryden
Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. They collect
information about our surroundings, including Earth resources,
celestial observations, atmospheric chemistry, and dynamics and
oceanic processes. The aircraft are also used for electronic
sensor research and development, satellite calibration, and
satellite data validation.
