The Gerard P. Kuiper Airborne Observatory (KAO) was a national facility operated by NASA to support research in infrared astronomy. The observation platform was a highly modified Lockheed C-141A Starlifter jet transport aircraft (s/n: 6110, registration: N714NA,〔 callsign: NASA 714〔) with a range of 6,000 nautical miles (11,000 km), capable of conducting research operations up to 48,000 feet (14 km). ==Aircraft== The KAO was based at the Ames Research Center, NAS Moffett Field, in Sunnyvale, California. It began operation in 1974 as a replacement for an earlier aircraft, the Galileo Observatory, a converted Convair 990 (N711NA), that was destroyed in a collision with a U.S. Navy Lockheed P-3C Orion patrol aircraft in 1973.〔Aviation Safety Network http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19730412-1〕
