astronomy satellite

Fomalhaut has been a candidate for planet hunting ever since an excess of dust was discovered around the star in the early 1980s by the US- UK-Dutch Infrared Astronomy Satellite (IRAS).

The first gamma-ray astronomy satellite was Explorer 11, launched in 1961.

That year, NASA's Infrared Astronomy Satellite detected a larger-than-expected infrared signal from the star's vicinity.

France has participated in joint European missions, but COROT is the first French-led astronomy satellite since SIGNE 3 thirty years ago.

Of all the observatories that will cast their eyes on the moon this July 31, the Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite has the best chance of detecting a water plume, says Goldstein.

The Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite (SWAS) and Wide Field Infrared Explorer (WIRE) will debut in January and March of that year, respectively.

This week, he and his collaborators had hoped they would finally be celebrating the launch of their $60 million Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite (SWAS).

Onboard will be the Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite. This small NASA spacecraft will study cool molecules and dust in the Milky Way.

Carried aloft by a Pegasus rocket, NASA's Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite (SWAS) is expected to record the distribution of water, molecular oxygen, carbon, and carbon monoxide in dense molecular clouds that lie within 3,000 light-years of Earth, including those within the constellations Orion, Taurus, Ophiuchi, and Perseus.

Japan's ASCA X-ray astronomy satellite (also named Asuka in Japanese) has fallen victim to the biggest solar flare in a decade.

Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite (SWAS) will chart the distribution and abundance of water vapor, molecular oxygen, carbon, and carbon monoxide in any large stellar nursery within 3,000 light-years of Earth.
