Scientific paper

The design of the Auroral Ionospheric Remote Sensor (AIRS), a multimodal instrument comprising imagery, spectroscopy, and photometry subsystems, is described, with attention given to its electrooptics, mechanics, and electronics. The AIRS is a four-channel system that operates simultaneously in the vacuum UV (VUV), near-UV, and visible spectral bands. The sensor produces auroral images in both dark and sunlit hemispheres and enables the remote sensing of ionospheric airglows. The results of AIRS VUV spectrometer detectors sensitivity measurements for the two VUV channels are presented together with the AIRS optical schematic and the block diagram of its electrical system.
