EOR: A University Small Satellite for Low Cost Remote Sensing of Ozone

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 1 funding in the amount of $160K during late 1994 and early 1995. This paper provides a description of the scientific rationale and the design of the EOR mission.
