The Wisconsin Ultraviolet Photopolarimeter Experiment (WUPPE) observed Io during the Astro-1 mission on 1990 December 7 and during the Astro-2 mission on 1995 March 4, 9, and 16 in the wavelength range 2100-3100 Å with a resolution of 100 Å. The albedo measurements are consistent with about 25% of the surface being covered by an SO2 frost. Polarimetric differences between the March 9 and 16 observations (orbital phase 288° and 268°, respectively) are interpreted as arising due to the rotational effect of two polarized regions on Io which are either associated with the volcanic site Pele or Hephaestus Patera and Viracocha Patera.
