Scientific paper

The NASA- and USAF-sponsored 2002 Leonid Multi-Instrument Campaign consisted of two instrumented aircraft that flew from Madrid, Spain, to Omaha, Nebraska, with 38 researchers on board to cover the two Leonid storm peaks. Both aircraft were above clouds and under perfect observing conditions, with a radiant climbing from 35 to 67 degree elevation and the full Moon relatively low in the sky. All instruments worked as expected and aurora, moon, and meteors made the view scenic and truly spectacular at times. This report is a brief impression of the mission and a first look at some of the results in the weeks following the campaign.
