'Just in time for Earth Day, NASA has announced that it's full speed ahead with
six new aircraft-driven missions to study our changing planet.
In a media briefing on Friday (April 19), NASA officials announced six new
airborne missions that will focus on arctic coastal change, weather created by
wildfires, urban air pollution, impacts of changing weather patterns on
landscapes, retreating glaciers and agriculture.
Altogether, NASA will spend about $120 million on the six missions, which will
deploy from 2026 to 2029.
"Much of what we do uses that unique vantage point of space to see the whole
globe, but we perform science at multiple levels, including from aircraft, and
that gives us an ability to see detailed studies to understand how phenomena
are operating and how the Earth is operating at the local scale," Karen St.
Germain, NASA’s Earth Science Division director, said during the briefing.
"A set of six very different airborne campaigns will give us some really
targeted insights to help everything from how we understand how the Earth works
to how we put that science into action for people," she added.'
