L. H. McClure and E. L. Riddle, University of Colorado

Abstract

The Educational Ozone Researcher (EOR) is a small scientific spacecraft designed by students of the Colorado Space Grant College (CSGC) at the University of Colorado at Boulder. EOR was a finalist in the Universities Space Research Association (USRA) Student Explorer Demonstration Initiative (STEDI) program and received Phase I funding in the amount of $160K during late 1994 and early 1995. This paper provides a description of the scientific rationale and design of the EOR mission, and presents the experiences of the CSGC students during Phase I of the STEDI program.
