AB: Remote sensing of the Earth's ionosphere-thermosphere-mesosphere photon emissions has been one of the workhorse tools for Aeronomic research. With the access of space in the 1960s, the window of wavelengths opened wider. As a consequence new insights have been gained of the relationship and coupling of the space above and the atmosphere below this region. Even as this area of research has matured, significant and compelling questions remain unresolved. This talk will address significant and compelling questions that remain open and what role remote sensing plays in helping resolve them. Possible directions for future technology and implementation strategy will be explored.
