MAESTRO  

Definition

  • [ Text extracted from the SCISAT MAESTRO Homepage http://www.space.gc.ca/asc/eng/satellites/scisat/maestro.asp ] MAESTRO, which stands for "Measurements of Aerosol Extinction in the Stratosphere and Troposphere Retrieved by Occultation," aids in the satellite's overall mission of increasing our understanding of the chemical processes involved in the depletion of the ozone layer. SCISAT also carries the Canadian-built Fourier Transform Spectrometer (ACE-FTS) instrument as part of the overall mission, dubbed Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE). MAESTRO was developed, in co-operation with the Canadian Space Agency, by Toronto-based Meteorological Service of Canada, the University of Toronto, and EMS Technologies of Ottawa. Funding for the ACE mission, including both Canadian instruments, is being provided by the Canadian Space Agency's Space Science Program.
