A Calibration of the Naval Postgraduate School Middle Ultraviolet Spectrograph (MUSTANG)
Abstract
The Naval Postgraduate school's Middle Ultraviolet Spectrograph (MUSTANG) was designed to measure the spectrum of the Earth's airglow from 1800 A to 3400 A. The MUSTANG instrument was tested using standard techniques to determine the wavelength calibration, overall sensitivity, and detector linearity. The instrument was launched on a NASA sounding rocket on March 19, 1992, from White Sands Missile Range N.M. Post-flight tests indicate that the calibration did not change as a result of the rocket experiment. Spectrograph, Ultraviolet spectra, Airglow.
