The atmospheric emissions photometric imaging experiment was flown on Spacelab 1 to study faint natural and artificial atmospheric emission phenomena. The instrument imaged optical emission in the region 2000 to 7500 angstroms with a television system consisting of two optical channels, one wide-angle and one telephoto. A third optical channel imaged onto the photochathode of a microchannel plate photomultiplier tube that has 100 discrete anodes. A hand-held image intensifier camera with an objective grating permitted spectral analysis of the earth's airglow and the shuttle glow. Preliminary data show magnesium ion emission features in the lower ionosphere as well as the spececraft glow spectrum.
大气排放光度成像实验在太空实验室 1 号上进行,旨在研究微弱的自然和人为大气发射现象。该仪器使用由两个光学通道组成的电视系统在 2000 到 7500 埃的区域成像光学发射,一个广角通道和一个远摄通道。第三个光学通道将图像成像到具有 100 个离散阳极的微通道板光电倍增管的光电阴极上。带有物镜光栅的手持像增强器相机允许对地球气辉和航天飞机辉光进行光谱分析。初步数据显示,在较低的电离层以及航天器辉光光谱中都有镁离子发射特征。
