NASA research at Thule
THULE AIR BASE, Greenland – Robert Green, a scientist and senior research engineer with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, explains the AVIRIS imaging spectrometer Aug. 16, 2015 at Thule Air Base. The spectrometer was used to measure the ice sheet covering Greenland to develop software for ICESat-2 due to launch in 2017. The researchers relied on the 821st Air Base Group to provide a hangar, lodging, meals and more while they conducted three weeks of research in the Arctic Circle. The 821st ABG, one of the six installations operated by the 21st Space Wing, maintains an airfield and 10,000-foot runway at the U.S. Armed Forces' northernmost installation.
