From pole to pole, NASA's flying laboratories study our world
Description: NASA gains its global perspective of Earth through its fleet of 17 satellites orbiting our home planet. But sometimes scientists need to add a closer view to tackle certain challenging questions. Over the next few months, NASA will fly a series of airborne research campaigns - from the North Pole to the South Pole and in between - to take a closer look at U.S. air quality, hurricanes forming in the Atlantic, and the impact of climate change on Earth's polar regions.
