摘要
This paper describes a spectrometer/radiometer experiment to obtain infrared, visible, and ultraviolet measurements of Space Shuttle glow. The payload, Spacecraft Kinetic Infrared Test (SKIRT), is a cryogenic circular variable filter infrared spectrometer with a number of infrared, visible, and ultraviolet radiometers covering the spectral range of 0.2-5.4-mu-m and 9.9-10.3-mu-m. It will measure Shuttle glow as a function of mission elapsed time, Orbiter attitude, temperature, and Orbiter events such as thruster firings. The measured data should have sufficient spectral resolution and sensitivity to identify molecular species contributing to Shuttle glow emissions. SKIRT is manifested on STS-39.
