DC-8 and ER-2 in Sweden for the Sage III Ozone Loss and Validation Experiment (SOLVE)

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.
