CASEI is a centralized, comprehensive repository for NASA-funded field and airborne investigation data. CASEI provides extensive, cross-disciplinary information and context for suborbital research endeavors previously spread out across multiple sources.

Overview
The Catalog of Archived Suborbital Earth Science Investigations (CASEI) allows anyone to find curated information about the context, research motivation, funding for airborne and field efforts, and details on NASA’s non-satellite instruments. Development Seed partnered with NASA IMPACT’s Airborne Data Management Group (ADMG) to create a comprehensive inventory of NASA-funded airborne and field investigation data.
Challenge
There is a lack of a comprehensive inventory that provides holistic, contextual information about NASA's airborne and field investigations. Information today is available elsewhere via scattered and buried resources.
Outcome
CASEI is the most extensive search and discovery platform available to Earth science researchers and anyone interested in learning more about suborbital research endeavors. CASEI is cross-disciplinary and comprehensive, covering a range of geophysical concepts. It stands out for having information that is hard to locate and providing context so scientists can make informed decisions about using it.
