The International Solar Polar Mission (ISPM), planned for 1985, will make it possible to conduct interplanetary and astronomical measurements outside the ecliptic and over the poles of the sun. The investigations will be performed with the aid of two space probes which are being constructed by NASA and ESA. The Zodiacal Light Experiment (ZLE) is one of the experiments to be conducted with equipment borne by the NASA space probe. The ZLE is concerned with the determination of the surface brightness of the sky, taking into account color, intensity, and polarization. Attention is given to the operational approaches used for performing the required measurements, the design of the employed scanning photopolarimeter, the optical system, thermal-budget considerations, and the electronic system. The equipment for the experiment is developed and built by a German aerospace company. The project is supported by the German Federal Ministry for Research and Technology.
