Artwork of Nimbus-7 in orbit over Antarctica
Artists impression of the Nimbus-7 Earth observation satellite in orbit over Antarctica, with the Sun in background. The most notable of Nimbus-7s eight onboard instruments is the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS), used to monitor total global ozone distribution. TOMS data confirmed the existence of the ozone hole over Antartica & continues (as of 1991) to monitor its growth. Nimbus-7 was launched into a near-polar 955km orbit on 24 October 1978, and remains operational far beyond its original design lifetime

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable artwork of Nimbus-7, an Earth observation satellite gracefully orbiting over Antarctica. The artist's impression depicts the satellite against a backdrop of the radiant Sun, emphasizing its crucial role in monitoring our planet's ozone distribution. Amongst Nimbus-7's array of onboard instruments, the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) stands out as the most notable. This instrument played a pivotal role in confirming and studying the infamous ozone hole above Antarctica. Launched on 24 October 1978 into a near-polar orbit approximately 955km above Earth, Nimbus-7 defied expectations by surpassing its original design lifetime and remaining operational for years to come. Its enduring presence continues to contribute invaluable data regarding the growth and evolution of this atmospheric phenomenon. The TOMS instrument aboard Nimbus-7 provided groundbreaking insights into global ozone levels, offering concrete evidence that propelled our understanding of environmental changes occurring at both local and global scales. This artwork serves as a tribute to this pioneering satellite's contribution to scientific research and highlights humanity's ongoing efforts to monitor and protect our fragile atmosphere. Displayed proudly by Science Photo Library, this print not only captures an artist’s vision but also symbolizes mankind’s relentless pursuit of knowledge about our planet’s delicate balance.
