FUSELOG Catalog
NASA's FUSE (Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer) spacecraft provided
spectra in the far-ultraviolet portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (the
wavelength range from 905 - 1180 Angstroms, or 90.5 - 118 nm), with a high
spectral resolution of about 20000 (one wavelength point each 5 pm). FUSE was
funded by NASA as part of its Origins program, and was developed in
collaboration with the space agencies of Canada and France. It was
operated for NASA by the Johns Hopkins University. FUSE was launched into
orbit aboard a Delta II rocket on June 24, 1999 for a nominal mission
of three years of
operations. This table contains the FUSE Observation Log up to May 8, 2007,
as archived at CDS in summer 2007. FUSE was formally decommissioned on
October 18, 2007, following the failure of the last control wheel on the
spacecraft in July 2007.
