The Auroral and Ionospheric Remote Sensing Experiment on board the Polar BEAR satellite uses a four-color imager covering selected wavelengths in the visible/near-UV and vacuum ultraviolet (110.0- to 180.0-nm ranges). This device is capable of imaging global auroral display and the distribution of atmospheric emissions in both dark and sunlit regions. In addition to providing images, it can also operate in either spectrometric or photometric modes. This article describes the techniques employed and gives preliminary observations from the experiment.
