Sensor Systems of the NASA Airborne Science Program Sensor Systems of the NASA Airborne Science Program The National Aeronautics and Space Administration maintains a variety of aircraft and sensor systems dedicated to the support of remote sensing research. Two Lockheed ER-2s (S-model U-2,) a DC-8, and several U.S. Dept. of Energy aircraft provide multi-level platforms for both NASA and investigator-owned sensors. Data are collected for the atmospheric, land, and ocean processes aspects of the NASA Earth Science program, as well as for universities and other government agencies. Several of these systems are being used to validate algorithms for the NASA Earth Observing System. The NASA aircraft, located at Dryden Flight Research Center, are used as test-beds for advanced sensor design and satellite simulation, as well as to support scientific and operational data collection campaigns. Numerous sensor systems are in use and under development by NASA, including multispectral imaging devices, a SAR system, and a suite of large-format mapping cameras. All instruments are spectrally, spatially, and radiometrically calibrated on a routine basis. The aircraft themselves are equipped with navigation systems that continuously record GPS location and platform attitude data. The systems described here are facility NASA sensors, and are generally available to the science community; they reside at either Ames Research Center or the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (noted as ARC or JPL, respectively.) There are a variety of other sensors that fly on these aircraft that are owned by individual investigators, which are not within the scope of this document. AVIRIS (Airborne Visible and Infrared Imaging Spectrometer - JPL) The AVIRIS is the second in a series of imaging spectrometer instruments developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for earth remote sensing. This instrument uses scanning optics and four spectr
