The experimental program was directed toward the Space Systems Environmental Interactions Technology research to observe and analyze the glow surrounding spacecraft using the AMOS ground-based telescope facility. This unique optical facility was used for acquisition and tracking of the Space Shuttle during overflights of the site. The imager/spectrograph which was used for the data acquisition was similar in design and operation to the AIS instrument described in the earlier report.
