"SAGE III Ozone Sensor" To Be Installed On Space Station Next Year.

          

  NASA is planning to launch a new, highly-sophisticated space-based ozone sensor to help monitor the layer of atmosphere that helps protect the planet from some of the sun’s harshest UV rays, the US space agency announced on Friday.Dubbed the Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment III (SAGE III), the sensor is currently scheduled to be installed on the International Space Station (ISS) sometime in 2014. According to NASA, SAGE III will be using the sun and moon as light sources to help monitor the recovery of the ozone layer, which blocks solar UV rays that would otherwise burn skin and cause cancer.

Or has ever been since. out of these seven only five are alive and one among them is Worden.
