Mission: Student Airborne Research Program (SARP)
Josette Marrero (left) and Heather Sopher (right), both students at the University of California at Irvine, were all smiles during a Student Airborne Research Program (SARP) data-collection flight on NASA’s DC-8 flying science laboratory. The SARP is one of NASA’s tools for training future scientists for Earth Science missions that support environmental study and the development and testing of new instruments and future satellite mission concepts. The program’s goal is to stimulate interest in NASA’s Earth Science research and aid in recruitment of the next generation of engineers and scientists.July 1, 2010
