The Interball project investigates the system solar wind-magnetosphere- ionosphere by Auroral and Tail probes. On board the Auroral satellite , SKA-3 (a set of particle detectors) and the magnetometer IMAP-3 provide in-situ characteristics of the energetic particles and the magnetic field, respectively. The UV Spectrometer UVSIPS maps the ionospheric auroral characteristics in 3 lines: of the atomic oxygen (1304Å, 1356Å) and nitrogen (1493Å). The co-ordination of the satellite and the ground-based measurements allows to clarify the solar wind-magnetosphere-ionosphere interactions and to contribute in understanding the magnetospheric models.The purpose is to present examples of the observations demonstrating the quality of the data recorded by the instruments.
