Explorer
| Spacecraft: |
|
| Numbers: |
1992 payload #43 ; 1992-031A ; 4768th spacecraft. |
| Type: |
Astronomy |
| Sponsor: |
NASA |
|
|
| Launch: |
7 June 1992 at 16h33 UTC, from
Cape Canaveral's LC-17A, by a Delta 6925 (Delta 6920-10 / Delta 210). |
| Orbit: |
514 km x 528 km x 28.4° |
| Decayed: |
31 January 2002 |
| Mission: |
The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer carried
three sky survey scanner EUV telescopes and a deep survey telescope with
a 1.4-meter focal length and a 2-degree field of view. The sky survey was
completed in January 1993 and since then EUVE has been used by guest astronomers
for observations of specific targets. Most EUV observations are of nearby
stars and the interstellar medium, since hydrogen absorption makes the
galaxy almost opaque at EUV (0.01-0.09 micron) wavelengths, but a few extragalactic
objects do shine through.
On 2 February 2001, EUVE was
switched off, NASA deciding to terminate funding for the mission, even
though the spacecraft was still operating well. The final observations
were made on 26 January. After end-of-life tests of the never-used backup
high voltage supplies and checking the remaining battery capacity, EUVE
was stabilized pointing away from the Sun and sent into safehold at 23h59
UTC on 31 January. The transmitters were commanded off on 2 February. |

|
| Launch: |
27 October 1992 at 17h31 UTC,
from Baykonur Cosmodrome's LC-31, by an A-2/Soyuz (11A511U2 15000-061).
Deployed from the Progress. |
| Orbit: |
|
| Decayed: |
|
| Mission: |
A thin-film aluminum space mirror, called
Znamya, was to have been deployed as part of a program to illuminate regions
of the Earth at night with reflected sunlight. As the rotating dispenser
unfurled what was supposed to become an aluminum disk 25 meters in diameter,
another console in the control center suddenly issued a command to deploy
a boom-mounted antenna. The boom extended directly into the space where
the disk was rotating. As a result, the aluminum wrapped itself around
the boom and tore itself into shreds. The operator claimed that nobody
had told him there would be any physical contact. |
