The workshop will be a combination of keynote talks, panel discussions, and roundtables. The intention is to publish an anthology of selected papers of key presentations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NASA\u2019s DC-8 aircraft recently completed nearly four decades of service to NASA with its retirement in early 2024 following the completion of the ASIA-AQ campaign.  The DC-8, which NASA acquired in 1985, was a workhorse aircraft for NASA\u2019s Airborne Science Program of NASA\u2019s Earth Science Division (ESD), serving as the primary platform\u2014or one of several platforms\u2014of many airborne campaigns. Its contributions are legendary from flying as part of the first polar stratospheric ozone campaigns in the late 1980s, through campaigns focused on ice sheets, sea ice, terrestrial ecology, greenhouse gases, and air quality that continued throughout its lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"\" class=\"hds-media hds-module wp-block-image\"><div class=\"margin-left-auto margin-right-auto nasa-block-align-inline\"><div class=\"hds-media-wrapper margin-left-auto margin-right-auto\"><figure class=\"hds-media-inner hds-cover-wrapper hds-media-ratio-cover \"><a href=\"https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/EC00-0050-001\/EC00-0050-001~large.jpg?w=1920&h=1530&fit=clip&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1530\" src=\"https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/EC00-0050-001\/EC00-0050-001~large.jpg?w=1920&h=1530&fit=clip&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint\" class=\"attachment-2048x2048 size-2048x2048\" alt=\"The DC-8 in flight\" style=\"transform: scale(1); transform-origin: 50% 50%; object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\" block_context=\"nasa-block\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/EC00-0050-001\/EC00-0050-001~large.jpg?w=1920&h=1530&fit=crop&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1920w, https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/EC00-0050-001\/EC00-0050-001~large.jpg?w=300&h=239&fit=crop&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 300w, https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/EC00-0050-001\/EC00-0050-001~large.jpg?w=768&h=612&fit=crop&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 768w, https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/EC00-0050-001\/EC00-0050-001~large.jpg?w=1024&h=816&fit=crop&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1024w, https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/EC00-0050-001\/EC00-0050-001~large.jpg?w=1536&h=1224&fit=crop&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1536w, https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/EC00-0050-001\/EC00-0050-001~large.jpg?w=400&h=319&fit=crop&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 400w, https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/EC00-0050-001\/EC00-0050-001~large.jpg?w=600&h=478&fit=crop&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 600w, https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/EC00-0050-001\/EC00-0050-001~large.jpg?w=900&h=717&fit=crop&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 900w, https:\/\/images-assets.nasa.gov\/image\/EC00-0050-001\/EC00-0050-001~large.jpg?w=1200&h=956&fit=crop&crop=faces%2Cfocalpoint 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" loading=\"eager\" \/><\/a><\/figure><figcaption class=\"hds-caption padding-y-2\"><div class=\"hds-caption-text p-sm margin-0\">DC-8 Airborne Laboratory in flight<\/div><\/figcaption><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Besides the process knowledge that the DC-8 provided, it served as an important proving ground for new instrumentation and techniques that helped pave the way for their eventual use in ESD\u2019s space flight program, a source of calibration\/validation data for ESD\u2019s satellite instruments, and as a flying laboratory for students, post-docs and early career professionals to design, build, and test instruments, acquire data, and analyze it.
