This video explains how NASA’s third-generation science instrument, SAGE III, sheds light on how aerosols, water vapor, and other gases interact with and affect our atmosphere. Students learn how a unique hexapod helps the instrument stay oriented on the International Space Station and how NASA plans to use moonrise and moonset to double measurement capabilities, helping us understand the chemical balance in our atmosphere.
