Scientific paper

Since its launch in February 1990, the Low-Power Atmospheric Compensation Experiment (LACE) satellite has been used as a space-based platform from which numerous observations have been carried out using the onboard Ultraviolet Plume Instrument (UVPI). UVPI consists of two pointable, co-aligned, intensified charged-coupled-device (ICCD) cameras sharing a common telescope mount. The instrument has obtained high spatial resolution near-UV/visible images of rocket plumes, and has observed aurorae, the Earth's limb, and other features of the Earth background. A description of the instrument, the data gathered, and some selected results are presented.
