Superconducting Submillimeter-Wave Limb-Emission Sounder- a new ray for ozone layer's recovery



It seems like the stability of Stratospheric ozone can be recovered with a new scientific device called - The Superconducting Submillimeter-Wave Limb-Emission Sounder (SMILES), the first onboard mechanically cooled superconducting mixer and high resolution mixture for measuring minor atmospheric constituents of stratospheric and mesospheric chemistry. SMILES has shown its excellent performance by collecting huge amount of statistical data for a whole of six-months until it encountered a problem. As the data was analyzed, piles of information were collected from it.
