NASA selects STRIVE explorer for next phase
NSF NCAR scientists contribute to mission aiming to provide comprehensive view of atmosphere
NASA has selected The Stratosphere Troposphere Response using Infrared Vertically-resolved light Explorer (STRIVE) to move to the next phase of development. Two researchers at the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) contributed to the project.
STRIVE is one of two next-generation satellite missions selected that will help NASA better understand Earth and improve capabilities to foresee environmental events and mitigate disasters. The mission is led by Lyatt Jaeglé at the University of Washington in Seattle. NSF NCAR researchers Helen Worden, former deputy director of Atmospheric Chemistry Observations and Modeling and John Gille, senior scientist emeritus are both co-investigators on the project.
