In this paper we describe our airborne observation capability for an improved understanding of aerospace phenomena and tests. Using the successful observations of Hayabusa2 capsule re-entry and the Tau Herculids meteor shower as test cases we demonstrate the value and outputs of airborne observations. These two missions have provided unique data sets for aerothermal modelling, and a meteor shower phenomena called a meteor cluster which has only been observed once before in modern science. Finally we present the upcoming observation missions which we will be undertaking, and our ambitions for a variety of observation types.
