A collaboration of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and NASA, Scientific Satellite Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment 1 (SciSAT-1) measures the chemical and dynamic processes that control the distribution of ozone in the stratosphere, especially at high latitudes. SciSAT-1 passes through the Earth’s shadow fifteen times a day, profiting from the occultation of the Sun to make spectrographic analyses of the upper atmosphere.
