The National Academies will appoint an ad hoc committee to conduct a fast-track study to inform NASA’s future investments in suborbital airborne facilities. NASA’s Airborne Science Program provides a variety of aircraft systems that support Earth observing by bridging global satellite observations with surface-based, smaller scale measurements. This study will consider how airborne platforms could maximize contributions and/or provide unique inputs to integrated (satellite/airborne/surface/modeling) approaches to answering the science questions posed in Thriving on Our Changing Planet: A Decadal Strategy for Earth Observation from Space (2018).
