Meet The Goddard Instrument Field Team
May 21, 2020, 6 a.m.
Read moreThis video is an introduction into the world of the Goddard Instrument Field Team, known as GIFT. This team of scientists conducts fieldwork all over the world at sites that resemble the Moon, Mars, and other planetary surfaces. These scientists are responsible for developing and testing scientific instrumentation relevant to NASA’s exploration goals, and for carrying out a wide variety of experiments.Video narrated by: Jerome HruskaMusic Provided by Universal Production Music:“Let Me Love You Again” - Matthew Anderson“Crushing It” - Erica Driscoll, Wally Gagel, Xandy Barry“Behind The Stars” - Danny McCarthy“To New Heights” – Mark Petrie NASA s Goddard Space Flight Center has led and supported planetary analog field science campaigns for the last decade focused on addressing fundamental research and testing new instrument technologies. This video gives an overview of the Goddard Instrument Field Team, and includes footage of the unique locations they travel to and equipment they use. The capabilities developed within GIFT provide a unique resource to NASA and the external science community.
