Into the Eye

[摘要] NASA's aeronautical research not only encompasses advancing aircraft technology and aviation safety for today and the future, but it also has a branch that deals with Airborne Science. This Airborne Science branch possesses unique airborne flight vehicles (manned and unmanned) whose sole purpose is to take scientists and their experiments anywhere in the world, into nearly any climatic condition, to gather the data they need for their research. This research spans such fields as; global warming, weather analysis, air and water pollution, mineral and archaeology search, earthquake damage and prediction, and yes, hurricanes. The data we obtain will hopefully, one day, allow us to better understand our planet, its natural forces and man's interaction with them.
