Scientific paper

The Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) mission was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California at 1:26:03 PDT on April 25, 2007 becoming the first satellite mission dedicated to the study of noctilucent clouds. A Pegasus XL rocket launched the satellite into a near perfect 600 km sun synchronous circular orbit. AIM carries three instruments - a nadir imager, a solar occultation instrument and in-situ cosmic dust detectors - that were specifically selected because of their ability to provide key measurements needed to address the six AIM science objectives. Brief descriptions of the science, instruments and observation scenario will be presented along with early science results.
