WASHINGTON (WJZ)—Don’t panic if you see large planes flying unusually low over Maryland roadways next week. It’s all part of a major plan by NASA to help study air pollution over major cities.
Derek Valcourt explains where you’ll be seeing some of those low-flying planes.
The study will focus on air pollution over many of Maryland’s major roads, from Baltimore’s beltway, to the 95 corridor, even over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
This is no ordinary plane, it’s a specially fitted NASA aircraft designed with equipment to measure air pollution levels in flight. And starting next week the skies over Maryland will become a pollution detection playground for the plane and for NASA scientists.
“The public I think is very interested in knowing where air pollution problems are the largest, and then they have the ability to make their own decisions about their own activities and times and places they would like to avoid,” said Dr. James Crawford, NASA atmospheric scientist.
Maryland’s Department of Environment already has six pollution monitoring stations on the ground, but they’re spread out and only can tell you pollution levels in the immediate area.

Baltimore...The Final Frontier...These are the voyages of the airplane NASA 982, it’s mission, to explore strange new smells, to seek out new smells, to boldly go where no muslim has gone before!!!

They’ll probably put the sensors near the exhaust.......................
Swing low, sweet NASA plane,
Comin’ for to sample my air;

I looked over Chesapeake,
And what did I see,
Comin’ for to sample my air,
A band of Greenies comin’ after me,
Comin’ for to sample my air.
I wonder what they (NASA) are really looking for?
> I wonder what they (NASA) are really looking for?
Updating wind trends for the most effective fallout pattern for a Moslem nuke?
What did we ever do before Dr. Crawford and his ilk arrived on the scene? How did we make our decisions about our own activities without government information? How did we decide which places to avoid without Big Gov? I must have been curled up in a fetal position, paralyzed with fear not knowing what to do.
What does this have to do with SPACE exploration?
We're wise to their chemtrails scheme, so they're trying something else now.
Yes, I know brilliant rocket scientists and aerospace engineers who received doctorates in order to measure smog over cities and be a subsidiary of the EPA.
Well, the "S" in NASA was for SPACE, but it's been overtaken by the final "A" in NASA.....which stands for Administration
.
More research to back global warming claims?
Good to see NASA doing the only “science” it’s capable of these days.
Nasa needs to be closed down.
National Air Sample Administration.
BWAAAA! Ya got me stevie! Thanks for the laugh!
“Well, the “S” in NASA”
Used to be NACA when my Father worked there during WWll.
It’s not often you see planes at 500 feet putting out contrails.
And those rumors about zombies? Just the fantasies of hysterical people who are probably drunk or on drugs.
Remember that the first ‘A’ stands for Aeronautics.
