Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk
The Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission is a planned Heliophysics Mission of Opportunity (MOO) for NASA’s Explorer program. Led by Richard Eastes at the Florida Space Institute, which is located at the University of Central Florida (UCF), ''GOLD'' will provide a new capability for imaging the boundary between Earth and space in order to answer key questions about the effects of solar and atmospheric variability on the Earth’s space weather. 〔 Eastes, R. (2009), NASA Mission to Explore Forcing of Earth's Space Environment, Eos Trans. AGU, 90(18), 155–155, doi:10.1029/2009EO180002.〕 ''GOLD'' was one of 11 proposals selected, of the 42 submitted, for further study in September 2011. On April 12, 2013, NASA announced that ''GOLD'', along with The Ionospheric Connection Explorer (''ICON''), had been selected for flight in 2017. 〔
== Mission Concept ==
After launch, GOLD will perform a two-year mission, imaging the Earth’s thermosphere and ionosphere from geostationary orbit. The GOLD instrument is a two-channel Far Ultraviolet (FUV) imaging spectrograph that will be built by the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado Boulder, and will be flown as a hosted payload on a commercial communications satellite owned and operated by SES S.A..
Additional organizations participating in the GOLD mission include the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the University of California Berkeley, Computational Physics Inc (CPI), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), Boston University, Clemson University, and GATS Inc.
