The EXCEED mission - the Earth-orbiting EUV spectrometer -
Abstract
An earth-orbiting Extreme Ultraviolet spectroscopic mission, EXtreme ultraviolet spectrosCope for ExosphEric Dynamics explore (EXCEED) that will be launched in 2012 is now under development. The EXCEED mission will carry out out-of-atmosphere observations of Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV: 60-145 nm) emissions from tenuous plasmas around the planets (Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter). In this paper, we will introduce the general mission overview and current status of the mission.
