NASA | Discover-AQ

NASA's Discover AQ campaign aims to study air pollution over Baltimore using a P3 aircraft and a UC12. The mission involves measuring and mapping air pollutants to understand their transport and evolution. NASA's unique satellite capabilities face challenges in monitoring pollution at the surface level. Discover AQ employs a three-pronged approach, collecting data from ground stations and aircraft to create a 3D view of pollutants. The mission faces operational challenges like air traffic and weather but promises rewards in making informed decisions about emissions and behavior patterns.
