<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>Hello,<br><br></div>Please distribute information about this NASA internship opportunity to your undergraduate junior STEM majors.<br><br></div>Best regards,<br></div>Emily Schaller<br></div>NASA Airborne Science Program<br clear="all"><div><div><br></div><b>NASA Student Airborne Research Program (SARP)</b><br>
<p>The NASA Airborne Science Program invites highly motivated advanced
undergraduates majoring in any of the STEM disciplines to apply for
participation in the NASA Student Airborne Research Program (SARP 2015).
The purpose of the Student Airborne Research Program is to provide students
with hands-on experience in all aspects of a major Earth Science research campaign,
from detailed planning on how to achieve mission objectives to formal
presentation of results and conclusions to peers and others. <br></p><p>Students will work
in multi-disciplinary teams to study surface, atmospheric, and oceanographic
processes. Participants will fly onboard and assist in the operation of
instruments on the NASA DC-8 research aircraft to sample and measure
atmospheric gases and to image land and water surfaces in multiple spectral
bands. Along with airborne data collection, students will participate in
taking measurements at field sites. Each student will develop an
individual research project from the data collected.<br>
<br>
Outstanding faculty and staff for this program will be drawn from several
universities and NASA centers, as well as from NASA flight operations and
engineering personnel. The eight-week program begins June 14, 2015 and
concludes August 7, 2015. Instrument and flight preparations, and the
research flights themselves, will take place during the first two weeks of the
program at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center, in Palmdale, CA.
Post-flight data analysis and interpretation will take place during the final
six weeks of the program at the University of California, Irvine. </p>
<p>SARP participants will receive free housing and transportation during the
8-week program, a $3000 stipend, plus a $3000 travel and food allowance. <br></p><p>Applicants must be US citizens. </p>
