Earth Science Project Office
Earth Science Project Office
The Ames Earth Science Project Office is a small group of success-oriented individuals providing project management for NASA's Science Mission Directorate field research. We provide planning, implementation and post mission support for large, complex, multi-agency, national and international field campaigns.
We have a long history of successful field campaigns, beginning in 1987 with both the Stratosphere-Troposphere Exchange Project (STEP) and the Airborne Antarctic Ozone Expedition (AAOE) experiments. Our primary customer has been NASA's Upper Atmosphere Research Program, but in recent years our customers have included the Atmospheric Chemistry and Modeling Analysis Program, the Tropospheric Chemistry Program, the Radiation Sciences Program, Atmospheric Dynamics and Remote Sensing, the Suborbital Science Program, and the EOS satellite validation program.
