Description
The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) III is a fifth generation occultation instrument from NASA Langley Research Center. Launched onboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on February 19, 2017 and installed on the International Space Station (ISS), SAGE III will utilize solar occultation, lunar occultation, and limb scanning techniques to observe Earth’s stratosphere and upper troposphere to measure ozone, aerosol, and other trace gases. Currently in the commissioning phase, SAGE III on ISS is undergoing preliminary testing and characterization while also beginning routine operations. Early results will be discussed and a short introduction to the future of SAGE will be presented.
