A field operation built around the science
Operation Buried Star called for a radio astronomy instrument to be positioned in difficult canyon terrain. STSEA contributed technical access, rigging, and field coordination around the researchers’ requirements.
Define the science.
Let’s scope the fieldwork.
A project conversation starts with the work you need to accomplish, even if the logistics are still taking shape.
What support can we discuss?
Team assembly, technical access, engineering and equipment support, transportation, operational planning, geospatial mapping, aerial survey, photogrammetry, and tools for field-data collection. The scope depends on your project.
Who is responsible for what?
Your research team defines the scientific objectives and research requirements. STSEA works with you to plan the operational scope and coordinate relevant technical specialists and volunteers. Responsibilities are agreed for each project.
What if funding or institutional requirements are still unresolved?
Include your funding stage and any procurement, insurance, access, or permitting requirements in your inquiry. They are part of the scoping conversation. This form is an initial inquiry, not a project acceptance or a quote.
