NASA, from 10
plans and interest in the Earth System Science.
Students are mentored by scientists and engineers from NASA Headquar- ters in Washington, as well as Langley Research Center in Virginia, Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland and Ames Research Center in California. Additional mentors are university fac- ulty members and graduate students from University of California Irvine, University of California at Santa Bar- bara, University of California Santa Cruz, the University of Virginia, the
University of Houston, and the Univer- sity of Notre Dame.
The Student Airborne Research Program is one of NASA’s tools for exposing future scientists to the Earth Science missions that support envi- ronmental studies and the testing and development 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 the recruitment and training of the next generation of scientists and engi- neers, many of whom will be getting
their first hands-on research experience during this program.
Jack Kaye, Associate Director for Research of NASA’s Earth Science Di- vision said, “SARP provides a fabulous opportunity for these students to get hands-on experience in Earth System science using NASA’s unique combi- nation of aircraft, sensors, systems, and people. The experience will likely have
a lifelong impact, in part by helping them better understand their interests as they contemplate their post-college plans.”
Of the 277 students that have com- pleted the SARP program, 93 percent have moved on to science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) related ca- reers or are pursuing additional STEM education.
SARP is managed by NASA’s Ames Research Center through the National Suborbital Research Center at the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute with funding and support from NASA’s Earth Science Division. NASA’s DC-8 and ER-2 aircraft are managed by NA- SA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center and operated from the center’s Bldg. 703 in Palmdale, Calif.
Kasey Castello, an electrical engineering and computer systems engineering student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, and Dennis Finger, a molecular environmental Biology student at the University of California, Berkeley, feel NASA Armstrong Pilot Stu Broce’s flight suit as it inflates for a pressure check. Broce was preparing for a flight in the high-altitude ER-2 Earth resources aircraft.
