dc.description.abstractThe NASA Ionospheric Connection Explorer (ICON) was launched in October 2019 and has been observing the upper atmosphere and ionosphere to understand the sources of their strong variability, to understand the energy and momentum transfer, and to determine how the solar wind and magnetospheric effects modify the internally-driven atmosphere-space system. The Far Ultraviolet Instrument (FUV) supports these goals by observing the ultraviolet airglow in day and night, determining the atmospheric and ionospheric composition and density distribution. Based on the combination of ground calibration and flight data, this paper describes how major instrument parameters have been verified or refined since launch, how science data are collected, and how the instrument has performed over the first 3 years of the science mission. It also provides a brief summary of science results obtained so far.en
dc.description.notesThe ICON mission is supported by NASA's Explorers Program through contracts NNG12FA45C and NNG12FA42I. Data of the FUV instrument are available through the ICON Science Data Center at ftp://icon-science.ssl.berkeley.edu/pub/ and NASA's Space Physics Data Facility at https://cdaweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/data/icon/.en
