Catch Me If You Can

MATS is a microsatellite mission of Sweden, funded by SNSB (Swedish National Space Board), with the goal to conduct optical studies of mesospheric gases for two years. Spaceborne limb imaging in combination with tomographic retrieval opens exciting new ways of probing horizontal and vertical structures in the atmosphere. SNSB approved the project following a detailed project study by OHB Sweden, Stockholm University's Department of Meteorology (MISU), Omnisys Instruments, and ÅAC Microtec.
