The SCIAMACHY instrument is developed by an industrial team headed by EADS/Astrium GmbH on the German side and by Fokker Space on the Dutch side including a Belgium contribution.
The instrument and algorithm development is supported by the activities of the SCIAMACHY Science Advisory Group (SSAG), a team of scientists from various international institutions: University of Bremen (D), SRON (NL), SAO (USA), IASB (B), MPI Chemistry Mainz (D), KNMI (NL), University of Heidelberg (D), IMGA (I), CNRS-LPMA (F).
Operational data processing is being performed by ESA and DLR-DFD within the ENVISAT ground segment.
Support with respect to mission planning and operations is given by the SCIAMACHY Operations Support Team (SOST).
This work has been funded by the BMBF via GSF/PT-UKF under grant 07UFE12/8, by DLR under grant 50EE0027, the EU project TOPOZ-III (EVK2-CT2001-00102) and the University of Bremen.
