Students to the space
1998/06/01 Elhuyar Zientzia Iturria: Elhuyar aldizkaria
Recently the SNOE (Student Nitric Oxide Explorer) satellite has been launched into space. But the particularity is not the satellite itself, but the author. It is the first satellite designed and built by several students. It has been built by students from the University of Colorado and has had a budget of 12 million dollars.
Nitric oxide is known to affect the ozone layer, but the cause of chemical atmospheric fluctuations is not known. This new satellite will measure on the one hand the level of nitric oxide and its correlation with the X-rays of the sun.
