The following are datasets from some LASP Programs which are available for viewing and/or downloading.
- Galileo: Galileo Mission UVS/EUV data set.
- Two LASP spectrometers were mounted on the Galileo spacecraft in orbit around Jupiter from 1995 until 2002. An extended cruise period included encounters with Earth, Venus and several smaller bodies. The UVS spectrometer, built at LASP, was mounted on the scan platform and aligned with the other platform instruments. It has three channels: F covers 162.0 to 323.1 nm,
G covers 113.3 to 192.1 nm and N covers 282.0 to 432.0 nm. The Extreme Ultraviolet
Spectrometer was the Voyager UVS backup instrument refitted at LASP for Galileo. The EUV was mounted on the spinning section of the spacecraft. The EUV grating covers 54 to 128 nm.
- EUV observations centered on the Io Torus along with Jupiter and moon volatile escape and surface albedo measurements; Auroral observations were obtained in later orbits. EUV All sky Solar Wind measurements were obtained. The UVS obtained a diverse set of measurements on Jupiter and the moons, including stratospheric aerosols, airglow, aurora, Jovian magnetosphere and Io Torus, as well as satellite measurements of volatile escape, surface albedo and composition. A very detailed description of the science objectives for each observation for each instrument is given in the catalog files uvsinst.cat and euvinst.cat.
- LISIRD: LASP Interactive Solar Irradiance Datacenter
- Mariner 9: Mariner Mars 1971 Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) Data
- This site provides access to the entire Mars orbital data set obtained by the LASP built UVS instrument from 1971 to 1972. The Principle Investigator was Charles A. Barth. The Mariner UVS discovered Ozone on Mars and mapped CO2 seasonal distributions.
- MDC: Mars Data Conglomerator
- The Mars Data Conglomerator is a website that has access to multiple datasets of the surface and atmosphere of Mars. It allows users to specify a location on the surface, and dynamically generates views of that region using available datasets. It can combine datasets to create hybrid views, thereby providing insight that the databases alone cannot give.
- SME: Solar Mesosphere Explorer
- SME was operated from October 6, 1981 to April 14, 1989. Gary Rottman is the PI for the SME solar instrument.The solar ultraviolet (UV) irradiance from the Solar Mesosphere Explorer (SME) covers the spectral range from 115 nm to 303 nm in 1 nm intervals. The uncertainty for the SME solar irradiances is 10-20% (larger at shorter wavelengths).
- SNOE: Student Nitric Oxide Explorer
- SNOE ("snowy") is a small scientific satellite that is measuring the effects of energy from the sun and from the magnetosphere on the density of nitric oxide in the Earth's upper atmosphere. The spacecraft and its instruments were designed and built at LASP. SNOE was launched on February 26, 1998, and is now being operated from the mission operations center at the LASP Space Technology Research building.
- SORCE: SOlar Radiation and Climate Experiment
- The SORCE instrument suite produces two primary data products: Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) and Solar Spectral Irradiance (SSI). The SORCE TIM instrument measures the Total Solar Irradiance (TSI), monitoring changes in incident sunlight to the Earth's atmosphere using an ambient temperature active cavity radiometer to an absolute accuracy of 100 parts per million (ppm, 1 ppm=0.0001%) (1-sigma) and a precision and long-term relative accuracy of 10 ppm per year. The SORCE SOLSTICE, SIM, and XPS instruments together provide measurements of the full-disk Solar Spectral Irradiance (SSI) from 0.1 nm to 2000 nm (excluding 34-115 nm, which is not covered by the SORCE instruments).
- TIMED SEE: Thermosphere Ionosphere Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics Solar EUV Experiment
- The primary science objectives for SEE are to accurately and precisely determine the solar VUV absolute irradiance and variability during the TIMED mission, to study the solar-terrestrial relationships utilizing atmospheric models, and to improve proxy models of the solar VUV irradiance. The VUV range of 0 to 200 nm includes the soft x-ray (XUV) from 0 to 30 nm, the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) from 0 to 120 nm, and the far ultraviolet (FUV) from 120 to 200 nm.
- UARS: Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite
- One of the main UARS science goals is to understand better the ozone chemistry and trends in the upper atmosphere. Ozone abundance is known to change naturally by solar UV variability, dynamics in the polar regions, and by man's influence such as CFC's. UARS was launched in September 1991 from the Space Shuttle Discovery during the STS-48 mission.
