New measurements of thermospheric nitric oxide (NO) are presented from the Remote Atmospheric and Ionospheric Detection System (RAIDS) currently operating on the International Space Station. NO is retrieved from a spectral fit to multiple features in the gamma band solar fluorescence observed in daytime limb observations within the 220 to 300 nm wavelength range. Retrievals with higher vertical resolution have also been developed based on limb scans of the gamma(0,1) band near 237 nm. Results from both methods are compared and the implications for the chemistry and energetics of the lower thermosphere will be discussed.
