Instruments
TIMED's science payload consists of a tightly focused set of four instruments - the minimum set necessary to achieve the highest priority TIMED science.
The science payload is allowing scientists to look, for the first time in detail, at composition changes in the upper atmosphere; acquire unique measurements of atmospheric cooling as gases radiate energy back into space; measure the primary energy that's deposited into the MLTI region; and measure the speed and direction of winds in this region.
TIMED's instruments are the:
