AREN: Aeropods

An image of a AEROKAT kite flying, next to an image of an Aeropod in the air.
The AEROKATS program uses kites as a science platform for capturing data and images from an aerial perspective. The kites carry a NASA-patented technology called Aeropods that keep the instruments stable and aligned with the wind during flight.
 

Aeropods carry instruments that allow for field missions using NASA-inspired AREN operations and GLOBE protocols.
