Abstract

The FUV Spectrometer Imager for IMAGE is designed to simultaneously take aurora images at 1218 and 1356 angstrom. This paper describes the alignment procedure and performance results. The Spectrograph alignment requires to efficiently reject the Lyman-(alpha) line at 1216 angstrom. The imager alignment requires to tune optical components until finest imaging.
