Scientific paper

The Solar Stellar Irradiance Comparison Experiment, (SOLSTICE), is one of the ten scientific instruments on the Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS). The science objective of SOLSTICE is to measure the full disk irradiance of the sun with a precision and relative accuracy of better than 1 percent. The harsh environment of space is notorious in producing instability in instrumental response, especially in the ultraviolet. Therefore it is essential that provision be made to accurately track the instrument sensitivity throughout the UARS mission. The SOLSTICE has the unique capability of observing bright blue stars, and it is the average flux from these twenty or so stars that provides a reliable measure of changes in the instrument sensitivity. We report our progress making daily observations of the sun and stars since October 1991.
