Scientific paper

The possibility of imaging the earth's magnetosphere in resonantly scattered sunlight is discussed. Resonant scattering solar emissions near 834 A by O(+) are found to be a possible means of viewing magnetospheric plasma and tracing processes within the magnetosphere. Simulations of 834-A images observed from a lunar orbit are used to study the radiation belts and plasma sheet. It is suggested that, using near-term technology, useful images could be made in 15-30 min with 1000 pixels, giving adequate time resolution to observe structures in the period of a typical magnetospheric substorm.
