MAS is a remote sensing instrument for passive sounding of the Earth's atmosphere from the Space Shuttle. Millimeter wave radiation emitted by the atmosphere in the height range between 20 km and 100 km will be measured at about 62, 184 and 204 GHz. MAS data yield direct information about the distribution of temperature (T), pressure (P), water vapour (H2O), ozone (O3), and chlorine monoxide (ClO) in the stratosphere and mesosphere, in the latitude ranges between +45 deg or +74 deg depending on the Shuttle mission (28 deg or 57 deg inclination), assuming a circular orbit of 300 km altitude. MAS can be regarded as an early warning system for important environmental problems, e.g. the possible man made destruction of the ozone layer.
