General
The AQSYS, or Air Quality System, was first launched in 198 as a small network of simple aerostats designed to collect atmospheric data. Today, though, the program comprises a network of thousands of lightweight airborne instrumentation packages that help monitor not only weather and air quality, but also traffic, groundwater patterns, fire risk, and more.
- Effectively, this is a series of weather balloons.
- Onboard are a series of generalized and specialized tracking devices, among them isotope detectors.
