We present maps obtained from the second sounding rocket flight of the NUVIEWS survey. The NUVIEWS (Narrowband Ultraviolet Imaging Experiment for Wide Field Surveys) payload is designed to map diffuse CIV emission (155 nm), H2 fluorescence ( ˜160 nm) and far-UV continuum (140-180 nm), covering a large portion of the sky with good sensitivity on degree scales. The experiment consists of four co-aligned, wide-field (30o x 20o) self-filtering telescopes with 7-10 nm bandpasses centered on 145, 155, 161, and 176 nm. The three-mirror telescope design and microchannel-plate detector with two-dimensional readout provide good imaging ( ˜ 5') for point-source subtraction. The NUVIEWS instrument was refurbished after the first flight to enhance QE and reduce scattered light. The improved instrument was flown on June 11th, 2002 and observed approximately 40% of the sky above the horizon. We review the instrument flight performance, present skymaps for each waveband and discuss initial results. We also describe plans for future flights of NUVIEWS.
