MILLENNIUM - 20th CENTURY
6 satellites are illustrated, some very old like the European Exosat, and the Japanese Uhuru - this series of invisible stamps was only possible thanks to the 4000 satellite designs that we have put together over the years. These same subjects will soon be used in our Space Encyclopedia, updating the Satellite Classification of the 18th edition catalogue.
Uhuru: Dec. 12 1970. Japan - experimental satellite for XRay.
Rosat: May 31 1990. German satellite - XRay Observatory, over 120,000 XRay sources detected. Launched by US Delta rocket from KSC, Rosat is the abbreviation for Roentgen satellite.
I.U.E: Jan. 26 1978. ESA satellite for XRay Astronomy - IUE is abbreviation for International Ultra-violet Explorer - Cooperation ESA-NASA-England.
Astro-E: 2000. Future Jaoanese project for 21st century, advanced XRay observatory.
Exosat: May 26 1983. ESA X-Ray Satellite - Put into orbit by American rocket DELTA from Vandenberg Air Force Base (CA).
Chandra: July 23 1999 (AXA F) NASA Space Telescope as Hubble, but for XRay, named in memory to Indian scientist Chandra.
On the frame of sheetlet : XMM Launch Dec. 10 1999 First XRay telescope of ESA, launched by Ariane 5 V119, first commercial launch of the new European rocket, weight XMM 3.900 Kg. XMM is the complementary of Chandra NASA Satellite.
Background: XRay, infrared, and gamma ray pictures of the black hole in the Crab Nebulae.
