SIERRA Svalbard Mission aka CASIE - Characterization of Arctic Sea Ice Experiment Science Goals –Determine the degree to which ice-roughness monitoring via remote sensing can detect basic changes in ice conditions such as ice thickness & ice age. –Investigate relationships between ice roughness & factors affecting the loss or maintenance of the perennial ice cover. –Determine how roughness varies with different kinematic conditions & ice properties. –Demonstrate UAV technology & operational testbed. Funded Jointly by NASA SMD ESD Cryosphere Science and Airborne Science Programs Location: Svalbard, Norway Duration: Jun 15 - Jul Deployment Team: 20 people POC’s Jack Kaye – R&A Program Manager, NASA HQ James Maslanik – Principal Investigator, Univ. Colorado Matt Fladeland - SIERRA Project Manager, NASA ARC Mike Gaunce – Project Manager - NASA ESPO

Science Instrumentation Evaluation Remote Research Aircraft (SIERRA) SIERRA complements other UAVs in the ASP fleet by specializing in low altitude missions that require larger payload capacity than Aerosonde class Airframe designed by NRL; systems development at NASA ARC First Flight October 2008 Payloads flown to date: VIS/NIR Hyperspectral Imager (NASA ARC) Laser Profilometer (CU-Boulder) Ocean Color suite (NASA GSFC) NASA SIERRA UAS Wing Span Length Height Wing Area Empty Weight Gross Weight Max Speed Cruise Speed Stall Speed (clean) Aspect ratio Rate of Climb CG Position Payload weight 20 ft ft. 4.6 ft sq. ft. 215 lbs. 345 lbs. 79 kts. 55 kts. 30 kts ft./min % Chord ~100lbs

The role of small UAS for NASA Earth science Small UAS under 500lbs are an important tool for providing earth science data in remote regions or in dangerous phenomenon; Aerosonde, Scan Eagle, Manta and SIERRA are all within this class Science objectives include sea-air flux measurements in the hurricane boundary layer and arctic sea ice measurements; Instrument & aircraft miniaturization and commoditization can enable more measurements in more places
