The Campaign
The Costa Rica Airborne Research and Technology Applications 2005 (CARTA-2005) was a NASA field investigation that collected hyperspectral imagery across Costa Rica to support land-use policies, study volcanic activity, advance tropical agricultural and forest research, and inform urban and regional planning. It involved a single deployment in the boreal spring of 2005, based in San Jose, Costa Rica. The NASA WB-57 aircraft was equipped with the MODIS/ASTER Airborne Simulator (MASTER), the HyMap Hyperspectral Scanner, and additional cameras to capture multispectral imagery and photographic data. The Department of Energy (DoE) B-200 aircraft also deployed the Land, Vegetation, and Ice Sensor (LVIS) during the campaign. CARTA-2005 was a collaborative effort between NASA and the Centro Nacional de Alta Tecnologia (CENAT) of Costa Rica.
