| Description |
English: Standing in Hangar AE, Cape Canaveral Air Station (CCAS) is NASA's Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) satellite. The black rectangle on top is the optical port; at the lower right is the solar panel; behind (left) the lower edge of the panel are the radiators. The total length of the instrument is approximately four meters. FUSE was developed by The Johns Hopkins University under contract to Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., to investigate the origin and evolution of the lightest elements in the universe hydrogen and deuterium. In addition, the FUSE satellite will examine the forces and process involved in the evolution of the galaxies, stars and planetary systems by investigating light in the far ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Launch is targeted for June 23 from Launch Pad 17A, CCAS, aboard a Boeing Delta II rocket. |
