Atmospheric Emission Photometric Imaging (AEPI)
Abstract
The atmospheric emission photometric imaging (AEPI) consists of a dual channel, low light level video system with a filter wheel to isolate the emissions of interest, mounted on a stabilized, two axis gimbal system for pointing and control. The objectives are to produce images of various atmospheric emissions to: investigate ionospheric transport processes; observe induced emissions from artificial particle injection; measure electron impact cross sections of atmospheric species; study natural aurora at high spatial and temporal resolutions and in the ultraviolet.
