Notes from the Field

It takes a village to send something to space.

The color red claims everything in East Arnhem Land, Australia, where scientists have gathered to launch a sounding rocket.

For students who want to take atmospheric science as literally as possible, it doesn’t get much better than flying in a NASA aircraft.

The CYGNSS constellation of 8 SmallSats was launched into low Earth orbit five years ago, on December 15, 2016. It began as a two year mission to study how well GPS signals reflected from the ocean surface can help us measure the winds in hurricanes and improve our ability to forecast them. Well, we’ve done […]

Following caribou and brown bear trails when possible, a small NASA-supported research team trekked 800 miles across Alaska’s Brooks Range in summer 2021.

One of the CubeSats launching with Landsat 9 is the Cusp Plasma Imaging Detector (CuPID), which will image the boundary where Earth’s magnetic field interacts with the Sun’s.

Landsat satellites have enabled numerous applications in diverse fields, including the monitoring of global agriculture and food security applications.

Engineer Andy Hynous is back in the saddle in Fort Sumner, New Mexico, where NASA’s Scientific Balloon Program is making flights for the fall 2021 balloon campaign.

Earth observation technologies are revolutionizing global agri-food systems.
