ERS-2: Index 1995.

A general presentation of ESA's Earth observation satellite ERS-2, with its specific new instrument GOME (Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment) purposely designed to scan the ozone layer. ESA will launch ERS-2 with an Ariane 4 in 1995, building upon the experience and facilities gained with the 1991 satellite ERS-1.
