<span style="font-family: Tahoma;">The NASA Ionospheric Connection Explorer completed three years of observations during its mission, </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">and work is now underway to provide </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">the
final versions of </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">products to the scientific community. </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">Updates to several products are now </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">available on the ICON website and at the
NASA Space Physics Data Facility.</span></p>

Column O/N</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma; vertical-align: sub;">2 </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma;">product, which itself comprises two products – a retrieval from the limb observations of far-UV emissions above the horizon, and another retrieval
from the on-disk observations below the horizon. These both come from the ICON FUV instrument observations in daytime.</span></p>
