The purpose of the mission<br />is to measure and understand the chemical processes that control the<br />distribution of ozone in the Earth's atmosphere, particularly at high<br />altitudes. The data from the satellite will provide Canadian and<br />international scientists with improved measurements relating to global ozone<br />processes and help policymakers assess existing environmental policy and<br />develop protective measures for improving the health of our atmosphere,<br />preventing further ozone depletion. This mission is designed to last two<br />years.
