Intégration du matériel d'observation des surfaces continentales dans le Piper Aztec de Safire

Installation of continental surface observation equipment on board the Piper Aztec belonging to Safire, the French facility for airborne research. The Piper Aztec is an unpressurised twin-engine piston plane used for taking measurements in the lower troposphere, including measurements relating to urban pollution, air chemistry, turbulence and wind. Safire is a unit dedicated to climatic and environmental research, satellite validation and aeronautical development. It uses planes for the benefit of scientific research as part of experimental campaigns.
