NASA's Airborne Science Program is administered from the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, Calif. The program supports the sub-orbital flight requirements of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise. Dryden maintains and operates two ER-2 high-altitude satellite simulator aircraft and a DC-8 flying laboratory.
The scientific disciplines that employ these aircraft include earth resources, astronomy, atmospheric chemistry, climatology, oceanography, archeology, ecology, forestry, geography, geology, hydrology, meteorology, volcanology and biology. The DC-8 and ER-2 are also important tools to develop sensors that will fly aboard future Earth-observing satellites and validate and calibrate the satellite sensors that currently orbit our planet.
