Abstract This is a public observation where the Earth will drift through the field of view of the INTEGRAL instruments. Results from this observation will help in separating the cosmic and instrumental backgrounds and so ultimately lead to improved background subtraction.Scientifically, the main goals are to measure the spectral shape of the cosmic X-ray background emission above 20 keV and to study any high-energy emission from the Earth during storms in auroral regions.

Mission Description The INTEGRAL (International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory) mission, launched by the European Space Agency (ESA) on October 17, 2002, was designed to study high-energy phenomena in the universe. INTEGRAL was operating until february 2025 and it was equipped with three high-energy instruments: the Imager on Board the INTEGRAL Satellite (IBIS), the Spectrometer on INTEGRAL (SPI), and the JEM-X (Joint European Monitor for X-rays). Its Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) provided optical V-band magnitude measurements, complementing the high-energy observations.
