Scientific paper

Images of airglow at 2800 A were taken on the Spacelab 1 Shuttle mission and have been interpreted to be solar resonant emission of magnesium ions. On two orbital passes, observations were made near the magnetic equator while observing in the 2800-A channel. The observations were made near the sunset terminator (approximately 1800 LT), in winter (1983, day 335). Three separate emission clouds were observed, all of which extended well into the F region. The location of the clouds in horizontal space is shown. The processed images have been pseudocolored to highlight the intensity distribution in the clouds. Observations included clouds with apparent magnetic-field aligned striations. Bright emissions were observed at the magnetic equator, at 12-deg north magnetic latitude, and at 12-deg south magnentic latitude. Cloud-center brightnesses varied between 680 rayleighs and 1700 rayleighs.
