The project will provide the first comprehensive, global survey of atmospheric trace gases, covering the full troposphere in all seasons and multiple years.

Research Flight #10 (RF10) was completed and was a success. The G-V reached 83º North and completed five dips including low approach in Fairbanks. All of the dips were to 500 ft and all were over the recently formed ice cover with occasional large cracks, some of which showed open water. ...
HIAPER Pole to Pole Observations (HIPPO) The G-V will be on it's way home tomorrow after today's northern polar flight. Be sure to track the ferry flight home..in real-time on Google Earth!

The G-V was routed to the East of their original flight plan, in order to avoid a weather system located directly South of New Zealand to prevent potential icing of instruments. This route allowed the G-V to reach 66° South. The aircraft completed 6 dips along the way.
