The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment, SAGE, is a series of instruments designed by NASA to observe stratospheric ozone, aerosols, and water vapor from space. In the mid-1980s, scientists realized there was a problem with Earth’s protective coat of ozone...it was thinning. The SAGE family of instruments was pivotal in making accurate measurements of the amount of ozone loss in Earth’s atmosphere and helped leaders around the world institute an international treaty banning products containing harmful chemicals that destroy stratospheric ozone. SAGE is a key part of NASA’s mission to provide crucial, long-term measurements that will help humans better understand and care for Earth’s atmosphere.
Members of the SAGE team attended the February Science Mission Directorate (SMD) Monthly Status Review at NASA Headquarters to present an overview and status of SAGE III/ISS and SAGE IV to the Science Mission Directorate. LaRC Center Director, Dr. Dave Bowles, was in attendance to introduce the SAGE team. The SAGE III/ISS portion of the talk […]
