The mesospheric airglows produced by O(1D), O(1S), O2(b) A band , O2(A) Herzberg band,and OH in Meinel bands have been observed by using the ISUAL instrument on board the FORMOSAT 2 satellite. The ISUAL instrument consists of a CCD imager which carries six narrow and broad band filters centered at 630-750 nm, 762nm, 630 nm, 557,7 nm, and 4278,8 nm, which are used to map the spatial and temporal distributions of upper atmospheric emissions. Airglow layers in the 60-120 km have been usually observed. Occasionally, the airglow in the thermosphere at 200 km has also have been observed such that multilayer airglows from 80-200 km were measured. Measurements of oxygen and OH airglows showed their global variations. We will discuss about the measurements and analyses of the airglow and their global distributions. Specifically, the red line at 630 nm, oxygen A band at 762 nm and Meinel bands of OH in 630nm and also in 633-750 nm, O2 Herzberg band at 427.8 nm were investigated.
