Abstract:
The Citizen Explorer mission is being developed to educate students of all ages about space, science, and technology. This mission is the first in a series of Earth-orbiting satellites designed by and for students to take measurements of the Earth's environment. Citizen Explorer is a small satellite that will be launched in June 1999 to measure atmospheric ozone and downlink these observations directly into classrooms through a UHF transponder. Citizen Explorer provides hands-on experiences in science and technology for pre-college students and real-world experience for student engineers and scientists.
