U2 spy planes to aid environmental monitoring over California
Two U2 atmospheric surveillance aircraft will operate from Moffett Field this summer for environmental spying. NASA and the Air Force will use the planes to photograph Weather River and San Francisco Los Angeles areas at high altitude to simulate satellite programs for 1972. Crews from Lockheed will handle operations as government and university scientists study the data.
