    Area of Science:

    • Planetary Science
    • Atmospheric Science
    • Space Physics

    Background:

    • The Earth's geocorona and upper atmosphere emit ultraviolet light.
    • Understanding these emissions provides insights into atmospheric composition and dynamics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze far-ultraviolet emissions from the terrestrial atmosphere and geocorona.
    • To determine the spatial distribution and intensity of various atomic and molecular species.

    Main Methods:

    • Operation of a far-ultraviolet camera/spectrograph on the lunar surface during the Apollo 16 mission.
    • Acquisition of spectral and imaging data below 1600 angstroms.

    Main Results:

    • Obtained images and spectra of the Earth's atmosphere and geocorona.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Mapped spatial distributions and relative intensities of emissions from atomic hydrogen, atomic oxygen, and molecular nitrogen.
  • Observed spectrographically for the first time certain species' emissions.

    • Conclusions:

    • The Apollo 16 mission provided valuable far-ultraviolet data of Earth's upper atmosphere and geocorona.
    • The experiment successfully characterized emissions from key atmospheric constituents.
    • The findings contribute to our understanding of atmospheric composition and remote sensing capabilities.
