The shuttle glow: A program to study the ram-induced phenomenaIn January 1984, a proposal was submitted to NASA Headquarters entitled The Shuttle Glow: A Program to Determine the Physics of the Ram induced Phenomena. This proposal included the following elements in a shuttlebased experiment: (1) The use of a special flat generating surface 1 x 3 m on which the glow can be produced and observed. This surface will be maneuvered to vary the orientation of ram flow and of projected component of geomagnetic field. (2) Remotely mounted optical instruments to view the glowing layer on the plate. By scanning, the variation of radiance as a function of wavelength and standoff distance from the plate will be observed looking parallel to the plate. (3) The preferred location of the generating plate and in situ diagnostics is on the end of the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm.
