RELEASE: 05-20
"NASA is glad to see that UAVs are being used for more and more
diverse and important operations," said Terrence Hertz, Deputy
Associate Administrator for Technology, NASA Aeronautics Research
Mission Directorate. "We're looking forward to more breakthrough
research in areas such as regenerative fuel cells, multi-UAV
operations through networking, and routine access to the National
Airspace System that will allow UAVs to play an expanding role in
Earth Science and other types of missions."
"This mission is truly historic in that it marks the first time that
scientific payloads of this quality and complexity have been flown in
a remotely operated aircraft system," noted Thomas J. Cassidy Jr.,
president and chief executive officer of General Atomics Aeronautical
Systems.
