“Sensors With Wings” - Small UAVs for Earth Science.

Aeros 100 UAV Small UAVs are showing promise for high resolution, quick response measurements for Earth science research. Several experiments have been conducted within the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center’s Observational Science Branch to explore the potential utility of miniaturized sensors combined with small air vehicles for a variety of measurements and missions. Results indicate that there is a productive future for this class of aerial platform and work is underway to create “sensors with wings” – integrated instrument/platform systems specifically tailored for in-situ and remote sensing observations.
