Scientific paper

The NASA Space Shuttle Get-Away Special program is the basis of the present development effort for the definition of a meteor UV spectroscopy experiment that can be contained within a 5-cu ft canister that will be carried in the Shuttle Orbiter cargo bay. The experiment's spectroscope will employ an f/1.0 4.6-cm spectrographic camera, a Cs2Te image intensifier, and a CCD camera. UV study of meteors will allow the detection of the spectral lines of elements and compounds whose visual and near-IR lines coincide with very strong Fe and Ca lines. The 'Fe window' in the mid-UV will allow the detection of Be, Zn, and perhaps B; all are previously undetected in meteor spectra.
