NEXT MISSION - OIB
Operation Ice Bridge - October/November 2009
OIB
NASA Airborne Science program, in concert with the ICESat program, will be investigating Arctic/Antarctic sea ice to fill the five or six year data gap between the end of ICESat-I and the launch of ICESat-II.

NASA's in-house aircraft, with a variety of instruments, will observe and measure ice sheets, glaciers and sea ice in the areas of coastal Greenland, the southeast Alaskan glaciers, the Arctic, coastal Antarctica - including the Antarctic Peninsula, and interior Antarctica. More >
