PRESENTATION: "HOW DO WE STUDY OZONE?"

	The Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS), to be launched 
in 1995, on board an Earth Probe Satellite (TOMS-EP), will continue 
NASA's long term daily mapping of the global distribution of the 
Earth's atmospheric ozone.  The TOMS-EP will extend the high 
resolution measurement of ozone from space which began with NASA's 
Nimbus-7 satellite in 1978, and continued with the launch of TOMS 
instrument on board a Russian Meteor-3 satellite in 1991.  Join 
Philip A. Sabelhaus, Project Manager for the TOMS Project, as he 
discusses how studying ozone creation and depletion has helped 
scientists understand how man and nature are affecting the 
environment, the importance of ozone and steps being taken worldwide 
to stop ozone depletion.  

	The Goddard Space Flight Center Visitor Center is located on 
Soil Conservation Road in  Greenbelt, Md.  Admission is free. For
