Hotel information for the DC-8 Integration at McClellan Airfield:
We suggest you call the hotel directly and ask specifically for the government rate. Using on-line reservation service may not provide the best rate. Lions Gate is located on McClellan Field and is very nice but has few rooms available.
Holiday Inn has set up a NASA group account below the Per-diem rate and close to McClellan Field. Call or use the on-line link below for Holiday Inn and input the Corporate ID#.
Traffic patterns for Sacramento are toward the city center in the morning and reverse in the evening.
Lions Gate Hotel & Conference CenterNOVICE: ESPO is supporting the NOVICE instrument development mission out of Ellington Field TX during September '08.
ARCTAS: The ESPO led ARCTAS mission (Spring and Summer, 2008) has completed very successfully. The NASA DC-8, P-3 and B-200 flew a combined total of 55 sorties and 538 flight hours including the California Air Resource Board CARB study from Palmdale, CA and Ames Research Center.
ESPO is looking forward to supporting the DFRC based NASA Global Hawk development and related UAS missions in 2009.
