PALMDALE, Calif.- NASA’s DC-8 will be conducting low-level flights over the Inland Empire, Imperial Valley and Southern San Joaquin Valley with test flights between Dec. 2 and Dec. 9 as part of NASA’s Student Airborne Research Project.

Flying out of NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center Building 703, the DC-8 airborne research aircraft will be using science instruments to sample the air in these areas. To achieve these measurements, the aircraft will fly as low as 1,000 feet.
