Abstract
NASA’s Ames Research Center is currently operating several aircraft (Figure 1) for science and applications research. The various aircraft and much special equipment (telescopes, stabilized mounts, data systems, etc.) are available to all U.S. and other experimenters submitting valid research proposals. All operational costs are borne by NASA. Most of this program has been described in Ref. [1], where further details may be found.
