ER-2 Airborne Science Aircraft

First acquired in 1981, NASA has been using two ER-2 Airborne Science aircraft as flying laboratories. The aircraft once based at Ames Research Center now fly out of Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. They collect information about our surroundings, including Earth resources, celestial observations, atmospheric chemistry, and dynamics and oceanic processes. The aircraft are also used for electronic sensor research and development, satellite calibration, and satellite data validation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable ER-2 Airborne Science Aircraft, which has been an integral part of NASA's scientific endeavors since its acquisition in 1981. Serving as flying laboratories, these two aircraft have played a crucial role in advancing our understanding of various aspects of our surroundings. Originally based at Ames Research Center, the ER-2s now soar through the skies from Dryden Flight Research Center in Edwards, California. These high-flying marvels are equipped to collect invaluable data on Earth resources, celestial observations, atmospheric chemistry and dynamics, and oceanic processes. Their versatility extends beyond Earth-focused research; they also contribute to electronic sensor research and development while aiding satellite calibration and validation. With their cutting-edge capabilities and advanced technology onboard, these aircraft serve as indispensable tools for scientists striving to unravel the mysteries surrounding our planet. The ER-2s enable researchers to gather precise information that helps us comprehend complex phenomena occurring both within our atmosphere and across vast oceans. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image captured by Space Images (not the company), we are reminded of NASA's unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries in scientific exploration. The ER-2 Airborne Science Aircraft symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our world—an emblematic testament to mankind's insatiable curiosity and thirst for discovery.
