Abstract:For optimizing in situ particle and field measurements, auroral research satellites are best operated in a spinning mode. Simultaneous imaging of the optical aurora from such satellites requires either a stable platform or the derotation of the camera itself. Either of these requirements is complex and expensive. Either of these solutions also suffers from the problem that image blur often occurs due to the misalignments between the actual and the nominal spin axes of the satellite. Here we propose a novel sol… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
