Christchurch Airport is proud to host NASA’s Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, known as SOFIA, for two months’ observations in the Southern Hemisphere. For operational reasons, it is not possible to open SOFIA to the public, so we have made a short video to show you through the famous airborne observatory.
