The Orbiting Astronomical Observatory 2 (OAO-2, nicknamed Stargazer) was the first successful space telescope (first space telescope being OAO-1, which failed to operate once in orbit), launched on December 7, 1968. [3] An Atlas-Centaur rocket launched it into a nearly circular 750-kilometre (470 mi) altitude Earth orbit. [4]

OAO 1657-415 is a high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) located in the constellation of Scorpius, over 20,000 light years away. It is believed to be composed of a compact object (likely a neutron star ) and a highly evolved massive slash star , with Wolf–Rayet and O-type features in its spectrum, with a spectral type of Ofpe/WN9.
The film wasn’t just critically maligned but also a nonstarter at the box office, which is no surprise when you realize just how experimental it is: The entire movie takes place from a fixed ...
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, USSR.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.
The Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) which explored the origin and evolution of galaxies, and the origins of stars and heavy elements over the redshift range of Z between 0 and 2. GALEX conducted an all-sky imaging survey, a deep imaging survey, and a survey of 200 galaxies nearest to the Milky Way galaxy.
OV2-5, along with OV5-2, OV5-4, and LES 6, was successfully launched via Titan IIIC from Cape Canaveral LC41 at 07:37:01 UTC [2] and ultimately delivered to an altitude of 22,000 mi (35,000 km) [8] making it the first ever scientific geosynchronous satellite. Though seven of the 12 experiment appendages failed to deploy, most of the satellite's ...
