Measurements and Applications
Measures the large-scale auroral emissions in the 630-1100 nm wavelength range. The FAI imager system produces 16-bit digital images of the near infrared band at one image per second (CASSIOPE is a 3-axis stabilized platform),and the 630-nm wavelength at two images per minute, giving adequate temporal resolution to investigate the above scientific objectives.
