The Ultraviolet/Visible Spectrometer (UVS) includes the UV-VIS Spectrometer designed for limb observations to achieve limb and occultation measurements and also measure limb dust by measuring backscattered or forward scattered sunlight. In Limb mode measures atmospheric species including: K, Na, Al, Si, Ca, Li, OH, H2O can be detected. UVS Observations are in Limb Mode or Occultation Mode.
