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.
