NASA's Global Hawk drone

With a continuous flight time of up to 30 hours at an altitude of 22km and a carrying capacity of more than 900kg, the Global Hawk scientific research unmanned aerial vehicle has opened a new chapter in Earth Science's Space Research Unit American (NASA).

The Global Hawk, with a wingspan of 35 meters, can fly in the center of the storm or whirlwind to gather the necessary information about these weather phenomena.

The aircraft can also conduct research flights to areas in the Arctic or on the highs of the Earth's atmosphere.

In addition, Global Hawk can fly right under orbiting satellites, check the accuracy and quality of these satellites, ozone, air quality and weather data.

Equipment equipped for this aircraft will take samples of the chemical composition of the different atmospheric layers, observing clouds and sea surface.

The data collected will be compared with satellite data to enhance the accuracy of scientific data on Earth.
