Five experiments and the instruments packages designed for use in studying reactions between sunlight, ozone, and other chemicals in the atmosphere as well as for determining how ozone concentrations are transported in the mesosphere are described. The spin-stabilized satellite carrying the experiments consists of an observatory module and a spacecraft bus. Powered by a solar array which charges the nickel-cadmium batteries, the satellite is to be inserted into a sun synchronous orbit by a two stage Delta 2310 launch vehicle. The mission objectives, spacecraft configurations, and various subsystems are described as well as the ground support and prelaunch operations.
