Scientific paper

This paper describes a new spectrometer concept, the photometric imaging etalon spectrometer flown on the STS 41-G mission, that can measure the airglow spectra. Three examples of the recorded limb view airglow images are presented. It is demonstrated that the mesospheric rotational temperatures can be obtained from the spectrally resolved band components shown on the images. The rotational temperatures for the O2-A band on the limb and for the airglow at the wavelength of the OH Meinel band were obtained.
