The Global Imaging Monitor of the Ionosphere (GIMI) is one of several remote-sensing instruments under development for flight on the Air Force Space Test Program's P91-1 Advanced Research and Global Observation Satellite (ARGOS), planned for launch in late 1995. The primary objective of GIMI is to map and monitor the ionospheric O(+) and electron density on a global basis, by means of wide-field imaging of ionospheric far-ultraviolet emissions. GIMI consists of two wide-field imaging cameras sensitive in two far- and extreme-UV spectral ranges (75-105 nm and 131-160 nm), selected for their utility in day and night ionospheric remote sensing. The GIMI sensors are based on electron-bombarded CCD arrays, with opaque alkali halide photocathodes and Schmidt or all-reflective optical systems.
