SIRTF xyz trajectory

Post #1by JackHiggins » 26.08.2003, 21:27

Hey all

I've added an xyz for the recently-launched Space Infrared Telescope Facility to the spacecraft page on my site http://homepage.eircom.net/~jackcelestia/. (It's number 22)

If you haven't heard anything about the way it's trajectory has been planned, you'll either find the xyz:
  • Very boring, because it's an almost circular orbit
    OR
  • Very interesting, because of the way they came up with to slowly cool the SIRTF down to 0.05 degrees KELVIN, in places!


Enjoy! :D
