Students and researchers from Millersville University, Penn State University and NASA are collaborating at Smith Point, one of the DISCOVER-AQ ground stations near Houston, Texas.
A multi-year airborne science mission is on its way to Texas to help scientists better understand how to measure and forecast air quality from space.
The DISCOVER-AQ team completed their second destination in a five-year mission to study the air we breathe.
Teachers are parlaying interest in the DISCOVER-AQ campaign into science lessons for students.
