On the third day of the mission, the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS) was deployed from Discovery’s payload bay 350 statute miles above Earth to study human effects on the planet’s atmosphere and its shielding ozone layer. The UARS mission objectives were to provide an increased understanding of the energy input into the upper atmosphere, global photochemistry of the upper atmosphere, dynamics of the upper atmosphere, the coupling among these processes, and the coupling between the upper and lower atmosphere. This provided data for a coordinated study of the structure, chemistry, energy balance, and physical action of the Earth’s middle atmosphere - that slice of air between 10 and 60 miles above the Earth. The UARS was the first major flight element of NASA’s Mission to Planet Earth, a multi-year global research program that would use ground-based, airborne, and space-based instruments to study the Earth as a complete environmental system.
