| Description | The Imaging Spectrometric Observatory (ISO) was flown on the ATLAS 1 mission and was enormously successful, providing a baseline database on the coupled stratospheric, mesospheric, thermospheric, and ionospheric regions. Specific ISO accomplishments include measurements of the hydroxyl radical, studies of the global ionosphere, retrieval of the concentrations of neutral species from the ISO data, studies of mesospheric oxygen emissions, retrieval of mesospheric O from oxygen emissions, studies of the OH Meinel bands and the search for the Herzberg III bands, search for metallic species, studies of thermospheric nitric oxide, auroral study of molecular nitrogen emissions, and studies of thermospheric species. Apart from participation in the data analysis, the primary post-flight responsibility of Marshall Space Flight Center was the delivery of the final post mission dataset. Support provided by the University of Alabama in Huntsville is described. |
