UVS_SAT_DISK_SCAN_AP
UVS satellite AP disk scan
Construct spectral image cubes of multiple atmospheric emission line features (up to 1024 selectable spectral bins with a minimum of 3 key emissions: H Lya, OI 130.4 nm, OI 135.6 nm), with repeated scans to investigate highly time-variable auroral dynamics.

8 per flyby - 4 before and 4 after c/a. Scans should be approximately evenly spaced in either time or distance from closest approach
any rule that is used to schedule the observation: repetition rules, continuous (plasma instruments), one-off, every orbit, every day, etc
N/A
conditions that make the observation not possible (e.g. thruster firing)
