Six Venture-Class Projects To Study Climate And Natural Disasters
NASA is launching six new Earth Venture missions to study climate and natural disasters, including pyrocumulonimbus storms, agricultural emissions, and air quality. The missions will use aircraft to collect data on wildfires, landslides, and glaciers, and will help scientists forecast and mitigate the impacts of these events. The projects are part of NASA’s Earth Venture Suborbital program, which was established in 2007 to support high-impact, nimble research. This development was first reported by NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
