Overview of the [ITAL]Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer[/ITAL] Mission
The Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer satellite observes light in the far-ultraviolet spectral region, 905-1187 Å, with a high spectral resolution. The instrument consists of four co-aligned prime-focus telescopes and Rowland spectrographs with microchannel plate detectors. Two of the telescope channels use Al : LiF coatings for optimum reflectivity between approximately …
