摘要: The Atmosphere-Space Interactions Monitor (ASIM) is an instrument suite on the International Space Station (ISS) for measurements of lightning, Transient Luminous Events (TLEs) and Terrestrial Gamma-ray Flashes (TGFs). Developed in framework European Agency (ESA), it was launched April 2, 2018 SpaceX CRS-14 flight to ISS. ASIM mounted external platform ESA’s Columbus module eleven days later planned take during minimum 3 years. instruments are x- gamma-ray monitor measuring photons from 15 keV 20 MeV, array three photometers two cameras bands at: 180–250 nm, 337 nm 777.4 nm. Additional objectives that can be addressed with relate space physics like aurorae meteors, Earth observation such as dust- aerosol effects cloud electrification. paper describes scientific mission, instruments, mission architecture international collaboration supported by Science Data Centre. first a comprehensive designed measure TLEs TGFs. Two companion papers describe more detail (Ostgaard et al. Sci. Rev., 2019; Chanrion 2019).
