Come and see and learn how NASA Dryden Flight Research Center uses the DRIOD or Dryden Remotely Operated Integrated Drone for flight research, pilot training and the INSPIRE student internship program.

The DROID is one of four aircraft used for INSPIRE or Interdisciplinary National Science Project Incorporating Research and Education Experience. INSPIRE is a multi-tiered year-round program designed for students in ninth-to-12th grades who are interested in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education and careers.

“The INSPIRE summer internship program provides the opportunity for students interested in careers in engineering to get direct project experience prior to entering their senior year of high school or first semester of college,” said Candace Clements, Student & Faculty Programs Coordinator at NASA Dryden’s Office of Education.

The DROID flys out of AMA chartered club Muroc Model Masters model aircraft flight operations area of Rosamond Dry Lake.
