Mission type
timeline
Objective

Over the next few years, hundreds of scientists will be flying a fleet of research planes loaded with instruments to study fire weather, glaciers, landslides, air quality, and emissions from farms. The EVS-4 (Earth Ventures Suborbital-4) mission consists of a series of six airborne campaigns addressing these urgent science topics. 
These campaigns are designed to fill the gap between satellite observations from space, and ground-level measurements.
