  1. When MIPAS was invented, the ozone hole had not even been discovered. • When MIPAS was selected as core payload for the Envisat mission, the ozone-hole hype was very favorable for MIPAS • When Envisat was launched, the ozone hole was already understood. But still a lot of useful science could be done with MIPAS!

  8. Talk by Manuel López-Puertas

  9. Polar vortex chemistry: HOCl

  10. Lessons learned: • When you design an instrument, it may be wise not to be over-specific: • The success of MIPAS is due to the fact that it could do a lot of things beyond the ozone-hole, whose investigation MIPAS was designed and built for. • The research topic of today may be outdated when a new satellite actually will be launched.

  11. Be careful: whatever you do in the stratosphere, MIPAS will stand up as witness. THANK YOU!
