Abstract: The Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer satellite observes light in the far-ultraviolet spectral region, 905 -1187 Å with high spectral resolution. The instrument consists of four coaligned prime-focus telescopes and Rowland spectrographs with microchannel plate detectors. Two of the telescope channels use Al:LiF coatings for optimum reflectivity from approximately 1000 to 1187 Å and the other two use SiC coatings for optimized throughput between 905 and 1105 Å. The gratings are holographically ruled to lar… Show more

“…Our case study is inspired by Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) mission launched in June 1999 5 . FUSE had four reaction wheels, two sets of three degree of freedom gyroscopes, three magnetic torqueing bars, three-axis magnetometers, course sun sensors, a fine error sensor, and a payload of 4 co-aligned prime focus telescopes and Rowland spectrographs with micro-channel plate detectors to observe light rays in the ultraviolet spectrum ranging 905 to 1187 Angstroms.…”

“…The Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) was launched into low-earth orbit on 24 June 1999 and began a three-year prime mission to collect high-resolution astronomical spectra in the far ultraviolet bandpass 1 . The science instrument, a set of four co-aligned telescopes and prime focus spectrographs 2 , is maneuvered by a spacecraft bus whose design evolved from previous Explorer Platform spacecraft.…”
