A development history is presented for the optical probing of the structure of the upper atmosphere, noting the contributions made by both ground and spaceborne optical sensors, and the role of advancements in thermospheric theory. The significance of optical techniques to current understanding of the upper atmosphere is discussed in the context of the new COSPAR International Reference Atmosphere-1986. While much of the work performed to date has involved the analysis of data obtained by individual observatories, the ability to effectively constrain theoretical models with such single-station data has become more limited with increasing model sophistication.
