The Jet With a 17-Ton Telescope That NASA Uses as a Flying Observatory
If you thought Boeing 747s weren’t useful for understanding how stars are formed, you don’t know about SOFIA. (www.wired.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Sofia was featured on the doco "mighty planes", you can download of the net. I love the old QF 747SP.
Our Crew had the honors to Service and Detail SOFIA.
No doubt Carl Sagan is smiling down on this project! Well done team from NASA and Germany! Wow!!!
I flew with it February. Flight 143! It was great!!
Awesome!
I have seen a video of this plane.. It is truly awesome....
Kinda thought that was what that big myopic satellite they put up from the shuttle some time back was for. They spent another billion to fix the myopia and yet we still can't see. It's only taxpayer dollars. Yeah, I'm countin on my social security. As for the CG calculations, a 74 has a huge CG range and the antennae does not traverse fore and aft, ergo, no large shifts in CG. I have government waste disgust!
