SciSat-1 mission overview and status
SciSat-1, otherwise known as the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE), is a satellite mission designed for remote sensing of the Earth’s atmosphere using occultation spectroscopy. It has been developed under the auspices of the Canadian Space Agency and is scheduled for launch in August 2003. The...
