AirSWOT
AirSWOT is the calibration/validation and science support instrument for the NASA/CNES/CSA
SWOT mission. The initial development of AirSWOT was funded by the
NASA SBIR program. The key AirSWOT sensor, the Ka-band SWOT Phenomenology Airborne Radar (KaSPAR), was developed by Remote Sensing Solutions (RSS). AirSWOT system integration and test has been funded by
NASA ESTO and the SWOT mission. AirSWOT has been successfully integrated with the King Air B200 aircraft, operated by
NASA AFRC and is currently performing engineering test and measurement validation flights. For more information about the AirSWOT instruments, see
