The objectives were to participate in ionospheric research programs using the new optical equipment that was planned to be installed on the Airborne Ionospheric Observatory (AIO), a research aircraft operated by the Ionospheric Effects Branch at AFGL. This participation was to include: (a) testing, improvement, and continuing development of the software operating systems that control the instrument operation, (b) Complete testing, calibration, and documentation of all optical properties of the optical systems, (c) Improvements and continuing development of data recording systems for all instruments, and techniques for quick-look data presentation, (d) Assistance in analysis of optical data obtained on airglow and auroral experiments, and (e) Provide personnel assistance on research flights and field trips as required by AFGL.
