Scientific paper

The characteristics of the Martian airglow on the day and night sides of the planet are reviewed on the basis of the observations made by previous missions and current atmospheric models. The detectability of nitric oxide from its fluorescence spectrum is discussed in some details. The aeronomical and meteorological importance of measuring the distribution of a few dayglow emissions is described. It is shown that limb scanning and backscattered ultraviolet methods may be used to derive the ozone and dust distribution in the lower atmosphere. A list of scientific objectives for a UV spectrometer on a low cost spinning Mars orbiter is given.
