SCISAT 1
|
|
|
| | |  | | SCISAT 1 the first new Canadian scientific satellite since the ISIS II mission in 1971. Thirty years ago our goal was to better understand the ionosphere in order to improve our long distance communications. Today, the goal of SCISAT 1 is to help us better understand the ozone layer above the earth so that we can be more effective in our efforts to protect our environment. SCISAT 1 is currently undergoing testing at the David Florida Laboratory at Shirleys Bay.
