Objectives and Applications
MATS is a microsatellite mission of Sweden with the goal to conduct optical studies of mesospheric gases for two years. The mission will implement spaceborne limb imaging in combination with tomographic retrieval opens exciting new ways of probing horizontal and vertical structures in the atmosphere.
