Popis: While the integrated column intensities in the 0-0 band emission at 3914 A, as measured from the Atlas-1 mission, are found to be in good agreement with model values, Spacelab 1 intensities appear to have been significantly affected by vehicle-induced effects. The ion environment, in particular, appears to have been highly perturbed. The absence of the large pressurized double-Spacelab module, and the revised Space Shuttle Orbiter processing procedures, appeared to have yielded a much improved remote sensing environment.
