The orbiter glow (OGLOW) experiment, flown in 1984 on shuttle mission STS-41G, included observations of spacecraft glow and atmospheric emissions. The instrument consisted of a simple hand-held photographic imager combined with a series of high-resolution interference filters, Fabry-Perot interferometers, and a grating spectrometer. In the case of spacecraft glow, the results are summarized and compared with recent laboratory measurements. For the atmospheric emissions, a detailed analysis of the oxygen atmospheric band is presented to show how the data can be used to infer atomic-oxygen height profiles.
