NASA Student Airborne Research Program 2023: Sky-High Science Learning

NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center hosted undergraduate students for the 2023 Student Airborne Research Program. An eight-week summer internship program, SARP offers upper-level undergraduate students the opportunity to acquire hands-on research experience as part of a real scientific campaign. This year SARP, the Student Airborne Research Program, celebrated 15 years of success in the Airborne Science Program.

Students worked alongside scientists and aircraft professionals both on the ground and in the sky, using NASA Airborne Science Program’s flying science laboratories, like NASA Armstrong’s DC-8 aircraft. Outfitted specifically for science research projects, aircraft like the DC-8 help support both students and mission personnel to investigate science questions, aid in the understanding of our environment, and improve life on Earth.
