VA001 Unmanned Aircraft

Caption

The VA001 can carry 35 pounds of payload, flying at 500 to 15,000 feet above sea level. Its primary attraction -- and the primary reason NASA funded its development through the SBIR program -- is its ability to carry out research over some of the most forbidding locations on Earth.
