[[NASA]]'s '''Airborne Science Program''' is administered from the [[Armstrong Flight Research Center|NASA Neil A. Armstrong Flight Research Center]], in [[Edwards, California]]. The program supports the [[sub-orbital]] [[flight]] requirements of NASA's Earth Science Enterprise. Dryden maintains and operates two [[Lockheed U-2#ER-2 details|ER-2]] high-altitude "satellite simulator" aircraft and a [[DC-8]] which is specially configured as a "flying laboratory". |

The scientific disciplines that employ these aircraft include [[Earth sciences]], [[astronomy]], [[atmospheric chemistry]], [[climatology]], [[oceanography]], [[archeology]], [[ecology]], [[forestry]], [[geography]], [[geology]], [[hydrology]], [[meteorology]], [[volcanology]] and [[biology]]. The DC-8 and ER-2 are also important tools for the development of sensors intended to fly aboard future Earth-observing satellites, and to validate and calibrate the sensors which are used onboard satellites which currently orbit the Earth. |
