In collab w/@Boeing, @GE_Aerospace, @united & others, we flew a campaign to see if sustainable aviation fuels & advanced engine tech can decrease contrail formation.
Results will be available w/in 1 year to help aviation improve its environmental impact: https://t.co/lhUzCahF9C
Liftoff! Our #TEMPO mission and its host satellite are on the way to space. The size of a dishwasher, TEMPO is powerful enough to observe air pollutants across North America down to a resolution of 4 square miles (10 square km).
LIVE: Watch #TEMPO launch to orbit on a @SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. Liftoff expected as early as 12:30am ET (0430 UTC).
The @NASAEarth & @CenterForAstro mission is set to revolutionize air quality observations. https://t.co/Vsh74bQxsb
@bobyokelson Probably see it on https://t.co/biWSHGkZUT sometime soon. Still lots of details for the higher ups to work out, including where it will be based when the mods are done.
Spoiler alert: These tests are SAF-tastic!
Peek behind the scenes as our 2022 Boeing ecoDemonstrator team tests the emissions of sustainable aviation fuel with @NASAAero👀.
Learn how these tests strengthen our understanding of the benefits of #SAF🍃: https://t.co/ZRlnju61Bv
See the Boeing #ecoDemonstrator up close and learn how this flying test bed partners with others in the industry to achieve our net zero goals: https://t.co/k3kkmrvXQ7
In this interview with Chris Raymond, learn more about Cascade - a powerful tool in visualizing a future for aviation with zero climate impact: https://t.co/enHiM7toqy

Our 10-year anniversary Boeing #ecoDemonstrator is lookin' fly on the cover of @AviationWeek✈️.
The issue features three articles that dive into the importance of our decade-long program.
Our exciting @NASAaero collaboration with the @Boeing ecoDemonstrator Program stepped it up a notch this year, as we moved from sampling emissions behind a 737-9 to a 777-200ER. Fortunately, even as the engines got bigger, so did the blast fence we hid behind! @NASA_Langley
Researchers look to quantify SAF-fueled engine exhaust properties by measuring emissions from Boeing 777-200ER ecoDemonstrator. https://t.co/DadJ9ziJkt
From relatively humble beginnings, Boeing's ecoDemonstrator program has become a major player in the battle for sustainable operations. https://t.co/xfpTQfwjmN
A beautiful sunset + contrail peaking through the cirrus on my last night in Chincoteague. Thanks to the students and mentors of #NASASaSa for a great flight campaign on the NASA P-3B.
Our #NASA funded airborne Continuous Flow Diffusion Chamber (CFDC) for measuring ice nucleating particles did back-to-back NASA flights today (part of the SaSa program) and performed admirably! @ezrajtlevin at the helm!
What are people using to write collaborative journal papers these days? Any recommendations on options (e.g., Google Docs, Box, Sharepoint) and add-ins?
Looking forward to speaking about plankton, aerosols, clouds, climate, and the science of @NASA_NAAMES at the @VLMuseum tomorrow night (6:30pm EDT). In person and also streaming via Zoom. Info at: https://t.co/CKrM9zZSAg
We were excited to welcome @SenBillNelson, @Astro_Pam, @MarkWarner, @RobWittman, @RepElaineLuria, and @BobbyScott today for a tour of Langley Research Center to see the breakthrough research being done at Langley firsthand.
Here are photos from today's visit 📸
