The Space Ultraviolet Radiation Environment /SURE/ experiment for Shuttle space flight
Abstract
The Space Ultraviolet Radiation Environment (SURE) experiment is a self-contained payload transferring the sounding rocket payload approach to the Space Shuttle era. The experiment has two instruments (1) a sensitive spectrometer to measure the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectrum from 25 to 105 nanometers and (2) an imaging system sensitive in the far ultraviolet (FUV) from 122 to 200 nanometers to observe spatial structure and fluctuations. The spectra and spatial variations of emissions from the terrestrial atmosphere and ionosphere and from the interplanetary region and beyond will be studied.
