Science Objectives

The motivation for these project is qualification and testing the modules delevopments in UFSC. This modules will be

1-SO-01 Science mission duration The science mission duration shall be at least 3 months. This primary duration shall be called the scoping phase, during which the primary science objectives shall be achieved. An extended science mission phase of up to 1 year is desirable. The scientific goal is to observe the Airglow phenomena at least over 3 months, preferably over a year. Observing it over a 3 months period should be sufficient to determine geographical variation. A year of observations would ensure the understanding of seasonal variations.

1_SR_02 Primary science objective The primary science objective is to observe the airglow emissions both at night and during day. Both limb and zenith measurements shall be made. Definition of science objective.
