Abstract

The Ultra Violet Auroral Imager (UVAI) project, which will use two UV cameras on a satellite to make overview images of the Aurora Borealis, is discussed. The project's purpose and UVAI band sensitivity are briefly addressed, and the UVAI intensifier is examined in detail. The test setup and the typical UVAI characteristics are given.
