The ATMOS Instrument on Board ATLAS 3 
The STS-66/ATLAS 3 mission was launched on November 3, 1994 from the Kennedy Space Center. During nearly 11 days of operation, the ATMOS instrument made a total of 228 observations, 105 over the northern hemisphere at sunset, and 94 were over the south polar region (Antarctica) at sunrise. ATMOS took measurements both inside and outside of the Antarctic ozone hole, which was still present even at this late date in the southern springtime. The shuttle landed at Edwards Air Force Base in California on November 14.
