No footnotes date August 2011 Orion was a series of two instruments flown aboard manned Soviet Union Soviet spacecraft during the 1970s. The instruments were space observatory space observatories used to conduct ultraviolet spectroscopy of star s. Orion 1 The Orion 1 space astrophysical observatory was installed in the orbital station Salyut 1 . It was designed by Grigor Gurzadyan of Byurakan Observatory in Armenia . It was operated in June 1971 by crew member Viktor Patsayev , who thus became the first man to operate a telescope outside the Earth s atmosphere. Spectrograms of stars Vega and beta Centauri between wavelengths 2000 and 3800 have been obtained.

Polar is a NASA satellite designed to study the Aurora astronomy Aurora .

It was launched on 24 February 1996 into a highly elliptical orbit with apogee at 9 earth radii and perigee at 1.8 earth radii geocentric , 86 degrees inclination, with a period of around 18 hours. The apogee was initially over the northern polar region, but has since been precessing south at about 16 per year.

Fuji was a manned spacecraft of the space capsule kind, proposed by Japan s Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency History National Space Development Agency NASDA Advanced mission Research center in December 2001. The Fuji design was ultimately not adopted. Background In Japan , manned space flight prior to 2001 had depended on the United States USA Space Shuttle program , and independent development of spacecraft was not adopted as a short to mid term goal. Instead, NASDA choose to recommend use of Reusable Launch Systems with wings such as the US Space Shuttle and HOPE X HOPE . However, after the Japanese government reorganized their space exploration efforts under the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency JAXA , Fuji was proposed as a candidate for space missions. The Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003 also raised questions about the safety of reusable systems, and JAXA felt that the Fuji design, relying on a disposable capsule, would be possible to develop in relatively short span of eight years. Design The proposed design of Fuji was a modular spacecraft similar to the Gemini spacecraft Gemini , Apollo spacecraft Apollo and Soyuz spacecraft Soyuz spacecraft , with various configurations filling different roles. Minimum System The Minimum System configuration of Fuji was essentially just a Reentry capsule with a Human spaceflight manned space flight endurance of 24 hours.

PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars PLATO is a European Space Agency proposed space observatory that will use a group of photometer s to discover and characterize extrasolar planet s of all sizes and kinds around cool dwarf like our Sun and subgiant stars. The satellite is planned to be launched in 2017 or 2018 on a Soyuz rocket family Soyuz Fregat rocket, to the Earth Sun L2 Lagrangian point . It will differ from COROT and Kepler spacecraft Kepler in that it will study relatively bright stars between magnitudes 8 and 11 making it easier to confirm discoveries using follow up Doppler spectroscopy radial velocity measurements. It will have a much larger field of view than the Kepler mission which has 100 square degrees allowing it to study a larger sample of stars. The different versions of the project plan to observe stars in a 1250 3600 deg sup 2 sup area of the sky, thus tracking light curves of up to 260,000 cool dwarfs and subgiants Kepler had 25,000 stars of these types .
