Previous Years' NASA Suborbital Campaigns Supported by GMAO

The GMAO provides real-time support to a number of NASA Suborbital campaigns each year. Forecasts and data assimilation products generated from the GEOS-5 real-time production system, as well as web-based visuals, are made available to the campaign. Typically, these products and tools are used for flight planning and on-site and post-mission analysis of the field measurements.

To request GMAO support for a NASA Suborbital campaign, please follow the instructions on this page.
