Description
Summary:The Sensor Integrated Evaluation Remote Research Aircraft (SIERRA-B) is a medium-class, unmanned aircraft system (UAS) that can perform remote sensing and atmospheric sampling missions in isolated and often inaccessible regions, such as over mountain ranges, the open ocean, or the Arctic. This capability developed by NASA Ames Research Center is a unique way for Scientists and Engineers to gather important Earth science data as well as perform flight research using an innovative, safe, and cost-effective aerial platform. This poster describes the aircraft system architecture, capabilities, and provides an overview of current payloads and mission concepts.
