The Ultraviolet Plume Instrument (UVPI) is a calibrated, plume-tracking instrument flown on the Naval Research Laboratory's Low-power Atmospheric Compensation Experiment (LACE) satellite. The UVPI's primary mission was to collect images of rocket plumes in the ultraviolet wavelengths. The purpose of this report is to describe the procedures followed in calibrating the UVPI, to present final instrument response functions for use in subsequent data reduction and analysis, and to provide conversion constants useful for revising data values contained on delivered data tapes and in completed rocket plume reports.
