SARP West 2025

SARP is a summer internship for undergraduate students, hosted in two cohorts: East and West. In 2025 SARP West operated out of Guardian Jet Center and University of California, Irvine in Southern California. As part of the internship, students spend a week performing data-gathering flights onboard the NASA P-3 aircraft and the Dynamic Aviation B-200 aircraft, learning from NASA instrument specialists.
