NSSDCA ID: 1972-014A-02
Mission Name: TD 1AThis experiment consisted of a Cassegrain telescope (primary mirror 26 cm in diam) and a grating spectrometer that operated in three passbands (2260 to 2155 A, 2495 to 2590 A, and 2775 to 2865 A). When a star of sufficient brightness appeared in the telescope, the telescope locked onto it with a self-contained guidance system and then scanned three 100-A passbands in 0.5-A increments with an overall accuracy of 1 A and spectral resolution of 1.8 A.
