TL;DR
The ASIM instrument suite on the ISS aims to study lightning, TLEs, and TGFs, providing valuable data on atmospheric and space interactions from 2018 for at least three years.
Contribution
This paper introduces the ASIM instrument suite on the ISS, detailing its deployment and measurement objectives for atmospheric phenomena.
Findings
ASIM successfully launched and mounted on the ISS in 2018.
It is designed to operate for at least three years.
Initial measurements are expected to enhance understanding of atmospheric space interactions.
Abstract
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 the framework of the European Space Agency (ESA), it was launched April 2, 2018 on the SpaceX CRS-14 flight to the ISS. ASIM was mounted on an external platform of ESA's Columbus module eleven days later and is planned to take measurements during minimum 3 years.
