GLISTIN-A Engineering Flights Completed

Tuesday, March 5, 2013
  • The upgraded airborne Glacier and Ice Surface Topography Interferometer (GLISTIN-A) flew initial (8/6/12 and 8/13/12) and final (1/17/13 and 2/26/13) checkout flights on a DFRC G-III (C-20).
    - Initial assessments of the Ka-band single pass interferometer show system performance consistent with predictions
    - 2013 GLISTIN-A engineering flights occurred with upgraded power and configuration that will be flown on the GH
  • Leveraging the UAVSAR initiative, accommodation of GLISTIN on the Global Hawk (GH) is underway (GLISTIN-H)
    - Range flights are scheduled for November 2013
  • Principal Investigator:  Delwyn Moller (Remote Sensing Solutions)
