The High Resolution Airglow and Aurora Spectroscopy (HIRAAS) experiment was launched from Vandenberg AFB, CA aboard the Advanced Research and Global Observation Satellite (ARGOS) on 23 February 1999 at 2:29:55 AM Pacific Standard Time. The ARGOS is in a sun synchronous, circular orbit at an altitude of 843 Km. The HIRAAS experiment contains the Low Resolution Airglow and Aurora Spectrograph (LORAAS). The LORAAS gathers limb scans over the 750-100 Km altitude range, covering the 800-1700 Å passband at 17 Å resolution. We report our measurements of the daytime exospheric temperature derived by analysis of the scale height variation of the N2 Lyman-Birge-Hopfield emissions. We find generally good agreement with the MSIS-86 model, although our temperatures tend to be somewhat higher than the MSIS-86 predictions. The inversion technique is also presented.
