Richard B. Dunn Solar Telescope ( formerly the Vacuum Tower Telescope at Sacramento Peak ) is a scientific instrument for observing the Sun

Installed on the Salyut 4 were OST-1 ( Orbiting Solar Telescope ) 25 cm solar telescope, designed at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory, and two X-ray telescopes.

GSFC manages operations for many NASA and international missions including the Hubble Space Telescope ( HST ), the Explorer program, the Discovery Program, the Earth Observing System ( EOS ), INTEGRAL, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory ( SOHO ), the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer ( RXTE ) and Swift.

A major feature of the Dunn Solar Telescope at Sacramento Peak is a de-rotated 100 meter vacuum column.

ATLAS-1 instruments were: Atmospheric Trace Molecule Spectroscopy ( ATMOS ); Grille Spectrometer ; Millimeter Wave Atmospheric Sounder ( MAS ); Imaging Spectrometric Observatory ( ISO ); Atmospheric Lyman-Alpha Emissions ( ALAE ); Atmospheric Emissions Photometric Imager ( AEPI ); Space Experiments with Particle Accelerators ( SEPAC ); Active Cavity Radiometer ( ACR ); Measurement of Solar Constant ( SOLCON ); Solar Spectrum ( SOLSPEC ); Solar Ultraviolet Spectral Irradiance Monitor ( SUSIM ); and Far Ultraviolet Space Telescope ( FAUST ).

He was responsible for crew inputs to the development of hardware and procedures for the Inertial Upper Stage ( IUS ), Space Telescope, the Solar Maximum Repair Mission, and the Space Station Program.

* CERN Axion Solar Telescope, a particle physics experiment carried out at CERN, looking for hypothetical particles called axions.

The six experiments that make up the IEH payload are ( 1 ) Solar Extreme Ultraviolet Hitchhiker ( SEH ) payload which obtained EUV and FUV fluxes that are required when studying the Earth's upper atmosphere ; ( 2 ) Ultraviolet Spectrograph Telescope for Astronomical Research ( UVSTAR ) payload designed to measure EUV fluxes which can be used to form images of extended plasma sources ( ex.

The organization is responsible for the operation of several important observatories, known as " AURA centers ": the Gemini Observatory ; the National Optical Astronomy Observatory ( NOAO ); the National Solar Observatory ( NSO ); the Space Telescope Science Institute ( STScI ); and the AURA Observatory ( AURA-O ).

Other EVAs followed on the Shuttle, notably those on STS-41-B ( the first Manned Maneuvering Unit flight ), STS-41-C ( the Solar Max repair mission ), and STS-51-A ( where two stranded satellites were retrieved and returned to Earth ), but the majority of EMU uses occurred on the servicing missions of the Hubble Space Telescope.

The information obtained by astrometric measurements provides information on the kinematics and physical origin of our Solar System and our galaxy, the Milky Way.

This interdisciplinary field encompasses the search for habitable environments in our Solar System and habitable planets outside our Solar System, the search for evidence of prebiotic chemistry, laboratory and field research into the origins and early evolution of life on Earth, and studies of the potential for life to adapt to challenges on Earth and in outer space.

Druyan was responsible for the selection of the music on the Voyager Golden Record for the pioneering exploratory missions of the Solar System — Voyager 1 and Voyager 2.

Also, general relativity has passed stringent tests on the scale of the Solar System and binary stars while extrapolation to cosmological scales has been validated by the empirical successes of various aspects of the Big Bang theory.

Impact craters are the dominant landforms on many solid Solar System objects including the Moon, Mercury, Callisto, Ganymede and most small moons and asteroids.

Two other satellites made observations at the time of the impact: the Ulysses spacecraft, primarily designed for solar observations, was pointed towards Jupiter from its location 2. 6 AU away, and the distant Voyager 2 probe, some 44 AU from Jupiter and on its way out of the Solar System following its encounter with Neptune in 1989, was programmed to look for radio emission in the 1 – 390 kHz range.

Since the early 1960s, it has been known that volcanism has occurred on other planets and moons in the Solar System.

Enya recorded two solo instrumental pieces called " An Ghaoth Ón Ghrian " ( Irish for " The Solar Wind ") and " Miss Clare Remembers " that were released on the 1984 album Touch Travel.

Explorer satellites have made important discoveries: Earth's magnetosphere and the shape of its gravity field ; the solar wind ; properties of micrometeoroids raining down on the Earth ; much about ultraviolet, cosmic, and X-rays from the solar system and universe beyond ; ionospheric physics ; Solar plasma ; solar energetic particles ; and atmospheric physics.

Dyson also has proposed the use of bioengineered space colonies to colonize the Kuiper Belt on the outer edge of our Solar System.

In the Solar System, Mars, Venus, and the moon Titan also exhibit greenhouse effects ; that on Venus is particularly large, due to its atmosphere, which consists mainly of dense carbon dioxide Titan has an anti-greenhouse effect, in that its atmosphere absorbs solar radiation but is relatively transparent to infrared radiation.

The four most distant spacecraft ( Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 ) are on course to leave the Solar System.

However, either fission or fusion technologies can in principle achieve velocities far higher than needed for Solar System exploration, and fusion energy still awaits practical demonstration on Earth.

Another fairly detailed vehicle system, designed and optimized for crewed Solar System exploration, " Discovery II ", based on the D < sup > 3 </ sup > He reaction but using hydrogen as reaction mass, has been described by a team from NASA's Glenn Research Center.

Solar sails rely on the fact that light reflected from a surface exerts pressure on the surface.

Although most articles about light sails focus on interstellar travel, there have been several proposals for their use within the Solar System.

Because the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center, the body responsible for cataloguing minor planets in the Solar System, makes the distinction, the current editorial choice for Wikipedia articles on the trans-Neptunian region is to make this distinction as well.
