CORRELATIVE MEASUREMENT OPPORTUNITIES

BETWEEN ATLAS-1 AND UARS EXPERIMENTS

Edwin F. Harrison*, Fred M. Denn t, and Gary G. Gibson t

SUMMARY

The first ATmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science (ATLAS-I)

mission was flown aboard the Space Shuttle from March 24 to April 2, 1992. The

ATLAS-1 instruments provided a large number of measurements which were

coincident with observations from experiments on the Upper Atmosphere

Research Satellite (UARS). During the ATLAS-1 mission, simulations were

performed to predict when and where coincident measurements between

ATLAS-1 and UARS instruments would occur. These predictions were used to

develop instrument operation schedules to maximize the correlative

opportunities between the two satellites. Results of the simulations provide

valuable information for ATLAS and UARS scientists to compare coincidentmeasurements between various instruments on the two satellites.

INTRODUCTION

A major goal of the ATLAS program (Torr and Sullivan, 1992) is to achieve

underflights of the UARS to obtain correlative measurements between the two

missions. The UARS (Reber, 1990), launched on September 12, 1991, carries a

variety of scientific instrumentation for studying the composition and dynamics of

the atmosphere. Several UARS instruments are making global measurements of

the vertical distributions of ozone, methane, water vapor, and several minor

species involved in the chemistry of the ozone layer. The ATLAS is a Shuttle

mission designed to be flown about once per year during an 11-year solar cycle to

obtain extensive observations of the Sun and the Earth's atmosphere. The

combination of the results from the UARS and the complementary atmospheric

measurements from ATLAS experiments will greatly advance the understanding

of the chemistry of the upper atmosphere. Maximum use of the two satellite data

sets will be provided when coincident measurements are obtained.

ORBITAL AND INSTRUMENT SIMULATIONS

Computer simulations of satellite orbital characteristicsand sensor techniqueswere developed to determine time and space coverage capabilities for the various

experiments on the two satellites (Harrison and Gibson, 1981). First-order orbital

perturbations were included to take into account Earth's nonsymmetrical

gravitational field and the motion of the Earth with respect to the Sun (Brooks,

1977). Coincident measurement opportunities between sensors on the two

spacecraft are determined by comparing the coverage of pairs of instruments(Harrison et al., 1990).

UPPER ATMOSPHERE RESEARCH SATELLITE (UARS)

The UARS orbital elements are given in Table 1. These elements are based on

orbital data supplied after the UARS yaw maneuver and orbit adjust burn on

March 23, 1992. The UARS orbit was updated on March 26. Four UARS

instruments are simulated: the Halogen Occultation Experiment (HALOE),

Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS), Cryogenic Limb Array Etalon Spectrometer

(CLAES), and Improved Stratospheric and Mesospheric Sounder (ISAMS). TheHALOE is a solar occultation instrument. The MLS and CLAES are limb scanners

mounted at a fixed azimuth (90") on the spacecraft. The UARS flight direction

(backward or forward) determines which way the MLS and CLAES view with

respect to the velocity vector. They always look toward the dark side of the

spacecraft. For our simulations, MLS and CLAES are the same. The ISAMS is also

a limb-viewing sensor, but can be programmed to look out either side of the

spacecraft. The ISAMS was not operating at the beginning of the ATLAS mission,

but did resume taking data on March 27, 1992. A summary of instrument viewing

characteristics used in the simulations is given in Table 2.

To aid in visualizing the coverage of the various UARS instruments, Figure la

shows the geographical distribution of HALOE occultation tangent points, and

Figure lb gives a latitudinal history of HALOE coverage for the ATLAS-1 mission

time frame. Figure 2 gives similar data for MLS and CLAES. This coverage also

applies to the ISAMS instrument whenever it is viewing in the same direction as

MLS and CLAES. Figure 3 shows geographical and latitude-temporal coverage for

the ISAMS viewing toward the illuminated side of the spacecraft (designated

ISAMS-R). The ISAMS-R coverage is shown only after the instrument resumed

operation on March 27. All data are for a tangent height of 30 km.

ATMOSPHERIC LABORATORY FOR APPLICATIONS AND SCIENCE (ATLAS-I)

The ATLAS-1 orbital elements are given in Table 1. The ATLAS-1 orbit was

updated twice during the mission, and the ATLAS-UARS coincident

measurement predictions revised as appropriate. Three ATLAS-1 instruments are

simulated: Atmospheric Trace Molecule Spectroscopy (ATMOS), Millimeter-Wave

Atmospheric Sounder (MAS), and Shuttle Solar Backscatter UltraViolet (SSBUV).

The ATMOS is a solar occultation instrument. There are viewing obstructions at

2

Page 5: NASA Technical Memorandum l F#+' · Harrison, Edwin F. and Gary G. Gibson: Orbital Analysis for the Upper-Atmosphere Research Satellite Missions. Journal of Spacecraft and Rockets,

azimuths within 15"of the spacecraft axis, but this constraint is not included in

the simulations. The azimuth angle (beta) is, however, given in the tabular

listings of coincident measurements. The Grille spectrometer (GRILLE) also looks

at occultations, so that instrument would have the same coverage as the ATMOS.

The MAS looks at an azimuth 90" to the velocity vector and, like the MLS and

CLAES on the UARS, views toward the dark side of the spacecraft. The MAS was

also simulated viewing toward the sunlit side of the spacecraft. This "reverse"

viewing option is referred to as the MAS-R. Other instruments such as the

Atmospheric Emissions Photometric Imaging (AEPI) and Imaging Spectrometric

Observatory (ISO) look at the limb over the same Shuttle wing as the MAS, so

MAS results also apply to these instruments. Finally, the SSBUV is simulated as

nadir viewing with a restriction that solar zenith angle be 0" to 90". A summary

of instrument viewing characteristics used in the simulations is given in Table 2.

Figure 4a shows plots of ATLAS ATMOS (or GRILLE) occultation tangent points

latitude vs. longitude with separate symbols for sunrise and sunset; Figure 4b gives

latitude vs. time for this instrument. Figures 5, 6, and 7 show similar plots for the

MAS scanner viewing toward the dark side of the ATLAS, for the nadir-viewing

SSBUV, and for the MAS-R (viewing toward the sunlit side of the ATLAS),

respectively. All limb-viewing data are for a tangent height of 30 km.

ATLAS-UARS CORRELATIVE MEASUREMENTS

Computer programs were developed to compare each ATLAS measurement point

for a given instrument with all measurement points of a selected UARS sensor

that occur within a specified time interval. For each UARS orbit pass, the closest

point meeting both time and distance constraints is determined. For these

simulations, each ATLAS instrument was assumed to operate continuously

throughout the mission.

Correlative opportunities were determined for the various instrumentcombinations on the two satellites. A miss time of 3.5 hours was used for all cases.

Miss distance was 2000 km for the two occultation instruments (ATMOS vs.

HALOE), 500 km for occultation instruments vs. the limb scanners and nadir-

viewing sensor, and 200 km for coincident measurements between non-

occultation instruments. Plots of latitude vs. longitude and latitude vs. time are

presented for the coincident measurements between the ATLAS (ATMOS) and theUARS (HALOE) in Figures 8a and 8b. For these two experiments, there are 148

correlative measurement opportunities. Similar data for the ATMOS vs.

MLS/CLAES/ISAMS (93 opportunities) and ATMOS vs. ISAMS-R (14

opportunities) are given in Figures 9 and 10. Coincident measurements between

the HALOE and MAS (253 opportunities), HALOE and SSBUV (15 opportunities),

and HALOE and MAS-R (89 opportunities) are shown in Figures 11, 12, and 13,

respectively. Figure 14 presents the 335 correlative opportunities between the

SSBUV and MLS/CLAES/ISAMS, and Figure 15 shows SSBUV vs. ISAMS-R (707

opportunities). Finally, the 1282 coincident opportunities between the MAS and

MLS/CLAES/ISAMS are shown in Figure 16.

For each of these combinations, tabular data were generated to fully describe each

coincident measurement point. The tabular output includes (for each satellite) theGreenwich Mean Time (GMT), mission elapsed time, satellite latitude and

longitude, viewing angles with respect to the spacecraft velocity vector,

geographical location of the measurement point, time and distance between the

measurement points of the two instruments, and, in some cases, the solar zenith

angle at the viewed point. Tabular data are given in Table 3 for the two solaroccultation instruments (ATMOS and HALOE). The ATMOS measurements

coincident with MLS, CLAES, and ISAMS are presented in Table 4. Note that the

ISAMS instrument did not operate until March 27. ATMOS data coincident with

the ISAMS-R (ISAMS looking toward the sunlit side of UARS) are given in Table

5. Tables 6, 7, and 8 show coincident measurement results for HALOE compared

with MAS, SSBUV, and MAS-R, respectively.

The remaining cases are comparisons between limb scanners or between a limb

scanner and the nadir-viewing sensor. These comparisons involve a large

volume of data, require considerable computation time, and result in a large

number of coincident measurement opportunities. Tabular output for these casesis not included.

CONCLUDING REMARKS

Data are presented to show the correlative measurement opportunities between

various experiments on ATLAS-1 and UARS. A large number of such

opportunities was available during the ATLAS-1 mission, and these predictions

were supplied to mission planners to aid in scheduling instrument operations to

maximize correlative data opportunities for the experiment scientists. The results

in this report should be useful to scientists in assessing the correlative data

available for analysis.

The first ATmospheric Laboratory for Applications and Science (ATLAS-I)

mission was flown aboard the Space Shuttle from March 24 to April 2, 1992.

The ATLAS-1 instruments provided a large number of measurements which

were coincident with observations from experiments on the Upper

Atmosphere Research Satellite COARS). During the ATLAS-I mission,

simulations were performed to predict when and where coincidentmeasurements between ATLAS and UARS instruments would occur. These

predictions were used to develop instrument operation schedules to maximize

the correlative opportunities between the two satellites. Results of the

simulations provide valuable information for the ATLAS and UARS scientists

to compare measurements between various instruments on the two satellites.
