On May 17 NUSO researchers were deployed to the site of the Kilauea Volcanic eruption to provide UAS data acquisition and processing support. This near real-time monitoring of the erupting volcano and crater lasted for several months and provided a never-before-seen level of scientific measurements and modeling that should help better predict future activity.
