The [http://www.espo.nasa.gov/glopac/ Global Hawk Pacific Mission] (GloPac) will take place during the Spring and Summer of 2009. Proposed flights of the Global Hawk for the Global Hawk Pacific Mission (GloPac) are to be conducted in support of the Aura Validation Experiment (AVE). This mission will take place out of Dryden Flight Research Center and is expected to encompass the entire offshore Pacific region with four to five 30 hour flights. The flights are designed to address various science objectives:
