Measurements made during actual flight on a spacecraft represent the holy grail in supporting cutting edge research and providing critical vehicle health information during exposure to the harsh environments of launch and reentry. Remote optical imaging data obtained by the Scientifically Calibrated In-Flight Imagery (SCIFLI) team at NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) is currently being used by NASA’s Artemis and Commercial Crew Programs to ensure the safety of astronauts. This emerging capability had its genesis during the Space Shuttle Program. A look toward the future will showcase the use of high-altitude long-endurance uncrewed aircraft coupled with novel sensors to support civilian and national flight-testing interests more effectively.
