Summary
editDescriptionGerard Kuiper - Retired.jpg |
English: Parked in a quiet corner amid the fuel storage facilities, and retired - probably never to fly again - is the "Gerard Kuiper Airborne Observatory "
It was operated by NASA to support research in infrared astronomy. It is a highly modified C-141A jet transport aircraft with a range of 6,000 nautical miles (11,000 km), capable of conducting research operations up to 48,000 feet (14 km). It is parked at the Ames Research Center, NAS Moffett Field, in Sunnyvale, California. It began operation in 1974 as a replacement for an earlier aircraft, the Galileo Observatory, a converted Convair CV-990 (N711NA), that was destroyed in a collision with a U.S. Navy P-3C Orion patrol aircraft in 1973. More about the man it was named after: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerard_Kuiper |
