Scientific paper

ISUAL is a scientific payload of ROCSAT2 satellite, which is to be launched in November of 2003. The ISUAL instrument consists of a high-speed CCD imager, a six-channel spectrophotometer, and a red/blue band array photometer. Operating from a low-earth orbit, the instruments will facilitate long term, global survey of transient luminous events (TLES), and measure the spatial-temporal evolution of these upper atmospheric luminous phenomena. Through the ISUAL payload, we hope to learn the global distribution of TLES and to explore the possible unknown properties of TLEs from space. In this presentation, the salient characteristics of the ISUAL instruments will be introduced, as well as the observation strategy and the operation scenario. Besides devoting the majority of time towards observing TLEs, the project also will allocate a portion of time to other worthy scientific causes. International collaborations and observation proposals using ISUAL instruments are welcomed.
