Introduction to FAAM and Mid-Life Upgrade 

Oleg Kozhura

The FAAM Airborne Laboratory is an NCAS-managed research facility dedicated to advancing atmospheric science. It has been in operation since 2004, and is currently undergoing its Mid-Life Upgrade, a £49 million programme of modernisation and upgrades of the FAAM airborne laboratory to safeguard the facility until 2040, provide frontier science capability and reduce its environmental impact. The programme will improve the aircraft’s atmospheric measurement capabilities, developing new instrumentation and upgrading existing ones. 

Oleg Kozhura, Mid-Life Upgrade Science Delivery Coordinator, will introduce FAAM and its current and future capabilities.
