| Description | This project has resulted in 4 launches from the White Sands Missile Range of our payload in different stages of development, on: (1) 4 May 1991 Flight 36.062; (2) 16 June 1993 Flight 36.101; (3) 1 April 1995 Flight 36.104; and (5) 28 October 1996 Flight 36.149. For each flight, the following activities were accomplished: (1) prepare the experiment, including replacement and upgrading of critical components, at the University of Michigan; (2) integrate the payload either at the Wallops Flight Facility; (3) perform final far-UV calibration of instrument; (4) perform final alignment, integration, and electrical checks at WSMR (5) launch payload from WSMR (6) check condition of recovered payload (7) perform post-flight calibration, if necessary and applicable; and (8) reduce and analyze flight data. A description of the instrument is presented, along with overviews of the results of the four flights. We are presently preparing the payload for the next flight in 1998/99. |
