Scientific paper

One of the instruments that has been developed to fly on the Space Shuttle is the Imaging Spectrometric Observatory, an array of five imaging spectrometers to cover the 300-12,000-A wavelength range. In this paper the spectrometer designed to operate in the extreme ultraviolet is described. The instrument is intended for studies of the thermosphere and magnetosphere and support of various plasma experiments to be performed from the Shuttle. The design is modular so that various components such as gratings and detectors can be changed and optimized for a range of specific studies following the first survey mission. The detector is an intensified 2-D CCD which permits simultaneous spectral and spatial imaging. The spectral multiplexing gives the spectrometer a considerable speed advantage. The instrument has a small field of view and is thus capable of obtaining much needed scale height information on the atmospheric EUV emissions. Operating from the Shuttle, global and temporal coverage will be obtained, and the EUV data will be enhanced by the simultaneously acquired UV, visible, and near-IR observations.
