The upgrades enhance the pointing and tracking capabilities of the observatory's telescope control system, while the avionics upgrades allow the SOFIA to comply with current airspace regulations. The SOFIA aircraft, a 747SP, is operated by NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center and based at Hangar 703 in Palmdale, CA.
