NASA is working on a new system for Alaskan pilots to help them make better flight decisions in places where data would typically be unavailable.
Research Aerospace Engineer Joseph Rios with NASA has been working on the Traffic and Atmospheric Information for General Aviation, or TAIGA, and detailed what it would provide pilots.
The system was designed specifically for Alaskan pilots.
The system delivers the data through satellites and to cut costs of the software NASA also developed new ways to tightly bundle the information.
Rios detailed the next step in the process.
Alaskan officials hope to have a production prototype app by distribute by early next year.
