NASA to watch meteor shower via Google plane from the San Jose Business Journal reports NASA scientists used a plane owned by Google’s founders to watch a meteor shower last night.
The Google Jet left Mineta San Jose International Airport at 4:30pm last night and flew over the Arctic and back to San Jose. The flight should have lasted about 10 hours, giving the NASA scientists the opportunity to watch 100 visible meteors per hour.
Google has a deal with NASA to use NASA’s Moffett airfield; in exchange, NASA is allowed to use Google’s planes. The plane used in this flight was a Gulfstream V aircraft, but NASA can also use Google’s Boeing 767.
