Flying at altitudes up to 45,000-feet, SOFIA observes from above more than 99 percent of Earths atmospheric water vapor, thereby opening windows to the universe not available from the ground.
SOFIA offers international science teams up to 1000 cloud-free, high-altitude science observi ng hours per year during its two decade design lifetime.
Additional information on SOFIA may be found at http://www.sofia.usra.edu/ .
