Broad summary: NASA's new Earth Venture flights show the agency's practical climate and disaster-science side. Aircraft, drones, balloons and airborne sensors can capture details that satellites and ground stations do not fully cover. What is confirmed: JPL says six new suborbital missions are preparing science flights. The first highlighted campaign will study pyrocumulonimbus clouds, fire-generated storm systems linked to intense wildfires. Why it matters: These data can improve models used by forecasters, city planners and emergency teams. The missions also cover topics such as landslides in Alaska and air quality in Atlanta. Editorial note: This edition covers mission preparation, not final scientific findings. Results will require follow-up once campaigns produce data.
