NASA has announced a series of low-altitude research flights over agricultural lands near the city of Transit, Texas. The flights will be conducted on a Dynamic Aviation A200 aircraft from Thursday, October 22, through Monday, November 9. The primary goal of the mission is to measure gas and particulate emissions from livestock operations. Agricultural emissions are considered an important but still insufficiently studied component of the interaction between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. The project, named FarmFlux, is aimed at collecting data that will help better understand the contribution of the agribusiness sector to atmospheric processes. Low-altitude flights will allow scientists to obtain more accurate and detailed data compared to satellite observations, since the equipment will be able to measure pollutant concentrations directly near emission sources—livestock farms. The research results may be used to improve air quality models and assess the environmental impact of agriculture. NASA is not conducting such missions with manned aircraft for the first time, using them to collect atmospheric data in addition to satellite observations. This approach allows the agency to respond quickly to scientific objectives and obtain data with high spatial resolution.
