This 41-second video taken February
This 41-second video taken February 1, 2004 shows NASA's DC-8 Flying Laboratory taxiing and taking off from Edwards Air Force Base to study the atmosphere over California for the Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (AirSar) 2004 mission.
NASA operates a highly modified Douglas DC-8 jetliner as a flying science laboratory. The aircraft, based at NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center's Hangar 703 in Palmdale, California, is used to collect data for experiments in support of projects serving the world's scientific community. Federal, state, academic, and foreign investigators are among those who use NASA’s DC-8.
Data gathered with the aircraft at flight altitude and by remote sensing have been used for studies in archaeology, ecology, geography, hydrology, meteorology, oceanography, volcanology, atmospheric chemistry, cryospheric science, soil science, and biology.
Four types of missions are flown with the DC-8: sensor development, satellite sensor verification, space vehicle launch or re-entry telemetry data retrieval and optical tracking, and basic research studies of Earth's surface and atmosphere.
