The Global Hawk is currently 800 miles west of Portland, on a north westerly track at 57,000 feet. Stay tuned for more updates!
The Global Hawk landed safely at 2048 PT yesterday. The aircraft was in the air for just over 14 hours.
Successful flight! We sampled a polar vortex fragment in the Gulf of Alaska, and we underflew the A-Train constellation of satellites.
Global Hawk is still in the air! Scientists report that we have been sampling polar air for over 2 hours.
