The Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment I (SAGE I) instrument is a grating spectrometer that measures ultraviolet and visible energy. SAGE I gathered data concerning the spatial distribution of stratospheric aerosols, ozone and nitrogen dioxide on a global scale. SAGE I was launched aboard the Applications Explorer Mission-B (AEM-B) platform and used a Sun Photometer.
