NASA’s high -height WB -57 aircraft flew an aerial survey using an Ellington Field Joint Reserve Base in Houston on Tuesday, and using its dynamite (day/night airborn motion imagery for terrestrial environment).
The sensor will take high-resolution photos of the Gwadalup River and at a distance of several miles around, which can accelerate the emergency response time.

The aircraft is responding to NASA’s disasters as part of the coordination system, which was active to support the Emergency response to flood in coordination with the Texas Division of Emergency Management, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and human groups.
According to NASA’s statement, “Constant Cloud-Cover has made it difficult to obtain a clear satellite imagery, so the disasters have coordinated with NASA’s airborn science program at NASA’s Johnson Space Flight Center in Houston.
Officials said the data response would be provided to the teams and the assistance in rescue efforts and resource allocation.
