Clouds<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The Science Activation Program\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/sciact-team\/nesec\" rel=\"noopener\">NASA Earth Science Education Collaborative (NESEC)<\/a> is working alongside the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gocivilairpatrol.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Civil Air Patrol (CAP)<\/a> to launch the 2025 Aviation Weather Mission. The mission will engage cadets (students ages 11-20) and senior members to collect aviation-relevant observations including airport conditions, Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) Cloud observations, commercial aircraft information (including registration number and altitude), and satellite collocations provided by the NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/observer.globe.gov\/do-globe-observer\/clouds\" rel=\"noopener\">GLOBE Clouds<\/a> team at NASA Langley Research Center. This mission results from a highly successful collaboration between NESEC and CAP as cadets and senior members collected cloud, air temperature, and land cover observations during the partial and total solar eclipses in 2023 and 2024, engaging over 400 teams with over 3,000 cadets and over 1,000 senior members in every state, Washington DC, and Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n<p>The 2025 Aviation Weather Mission will take place from April through July 2025, collecting observations over two 4-hour periods while practicing additional skills, such as flight tracking, orienteering, and data management. So far, over 3,000 cadets in 46 wings (states) have signed up to participate.<\/p>\n<p>Science Activation recently showed support for this mission through a letter of collaboration sent to CAP Major General Regena Aye in early February. NASA GLOBE Clouds and GLOBE Observer are part of the NASA Earth Science Education Collaborative (NESEC), which is led by the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies (IGES) and supported by NASA under cooperative agreement award number NNX16AE28A. NESEC is part of NASA\u2019s Science Activation Portfolio.
