<div>Please pass on information about the 2017 NASA Student Airborne Research Program (NASA SARP) to junior undergraduates in your departments. We accept students majoring in any of the STEM disciplines who want to apply their background to the study of the
Earth System. All students will fly on a NASA research aircraft (C-23 Sherpa) as part of the internship. </div>

<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The NASA Airborne Science Program invites highly motivated advanced undergraduates who will be rising seniors in summer 2017 to apply for participation in the 9th annual NASA Student Airborne Research Program (SARP 2017). The
purpose of the Student Airborne Research Program is to provide students with hands-on research experience in all aspects of a major scientific campaign, from detailed planning on how to achieve mission objectives to formal presentation of results and conclusions
to peers and others. Students will work in multi-disciplinary teams to study surface, atmospheric, and oceanographic processes. Participants will fly onboard the NASA C-23 Sherpa and assist in the operation of instruments to sample and measure atmospheric
gases. They will also use data collected during the program from the NASA ER-2 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
complete an individual research project from the data collected.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span><br>
</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">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.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span><br>
</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">The eight-week program begins June 18, 2017 and concludes August 11, 2017.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span><br>
</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">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.</span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"></span><br>
</p>
<p class="p1"><span class="s1">SARP participants will receive a $5,000 stipend, a travel allowance, and free housing and local transportation during the 8-week program.</span></p>
