Ultraviolet Spectrograph

In the selfie, lines are sketched in to show approximately where components of the MAVEN spacecraft are that were not able to be imaged due to the limited motion of the instrument around its support boom.

NASA's MAVEN mission has returned images showing the ultraviolet glow from the Martian atmosphere in unprecedented detail, revealing dynamic, previously invisible behaviour.

ASA is preparing to launch its latest scientific satellite this month to provide the most detailed look ever at the Sun's lower atmosphere or the region that emits ultraviolet light.
