Scientific paper

The Far Ultraviolet Space Telescope ('FAUST') furnishes precise photometry for extended astronomical objects in the 1400-1800 A wavelength interval, and constitutes a part of the Atlas-1 mission. On several occasions during this flight, FAUST was turned toward the earth in order to obtain terrestrial nightglow, auroral and Shuttleglow emissions. It is found that auroral precipitation activity dominates in the high magnetic latitude; outside it, diffuse emission is seen to slowly vary over the nightside.
