What Does SSBUV Stand For?

SSBUV stands for Shuttle Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet Experiment

The Shuttle Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet Experiment (SSBUV) was a scientific mission designed to measure the backscattered ultraviolet radiation from the Earth's atmosphere. Deployed aboard the Space Shuttle, SSBUV aimed to collect data that would enhance the understanding of atmospheric composition and processes affecting ozone levels. By capturing high-precision UV measurements, the experiment contributed valuable insights into solar radiation dynamics and its impact on environmental monitoring and climate science.
