We describe the Berkeley extreme-UV airglow rocket spectrometer, which is a payload designed to test several thermospheric remote-sensing concepts by measuring the terrestrial O I far-UV and extreme-UV dayglow and the solar extreme-UV spectrum simultaneously. The instrument consisted of two near-normal Rowland mount spectrometers and a Lyman-alpha photometer. The dayglow spectrometer covered two spectral regions from 980 to 1040 A and from 1300 to 1360 A with 1.5-A resolution. The solar spectrometer had a bandpass of 250-1150 A with an ~ 10-A resolution. All three spectra were accumulated by using a icrochannel-plate-intensified, two-dimensional imaging detector with three separate wedge-and strip anode readouts. The hydrogen Lyman-alpha photometer was included to monitor the solar Lyman-alpha irradiance and geocoronal Lyman-alpha emissions. The instrument was designed, fabricated, and calibrated at the University of California, Berkeley and was successfully launched on 30 September 1988 aboard the first test flight of a four-stage sounding rocket, Black Brant XII.
我们介绍了伯克利极紫外气辉火箭光谱仪，它是一种用于通过同时测量地球氧I远紫外和极紫外气辉以及太阳极紫外光谱来测试多种热层遥感概念的有效载荷。该仪器由两台近法线罗兰圆光谱仪和一台莱曼α光度计组成。气辉光谱仪覆盖了980至1040埃和1300至1360埃两个光谱区域，分辨率为1.5埃。太阳光谱仪的带通为250至1150埃，分辨率约为10埃。所有三个光谱都是通过使用具有三个独立楔形和条形阳极读出的微通道板增强二维成像探测器积累的。氢莱曼α光度计用于监测太阳莱曼α辐照度和地冕莱曼α发射。该仪器在加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校设计、制造和校准，并于1988年9月30日成功搭载四级探空火箭“黑布兰特十二号”的首次试飞发射升空。
