... Aperture is the generic term used for any targetable area in an SI; a small slit, an occulting finger, different points on a CCD, a virtual aperture that encompasses a number of chips (e.g. WFALL), anything that can be specified in the APERTURE field of the proposal file, and a few more that can't. The scales, orientations, locations in the HST FOV, and a number of other properties of these targetable areas are calibrated and updated periodically. ...

... With enough velocity, a spacecraft can break loose from the Earth's gravity and enter an orbit around the Sun, like that of a planet. If it then orbits the Sun with the same period as the Earth--one year--it may keep a fixed position relative to Earth. ... If the distance is just right--about 4 times the distance to the Moon or 1/100 the distance to the Sun--the spacecraft, too, will need just one year to go around the Sun, and will keep its position between the Sun and the Earth. ...

. XMM-Newton Science Analysis System . testodf (testodf-0.45.1) [xmmsas_20070708_1801-7.1.0] . Meta Index / Home Page / Description . This test ODF is a simulation of an observation of a point source. The spectrum is a narrow Gaussian line at 1 keV. The source is located in an arbitrary location in the sky, and the spacecraft is initially pointing twoards the source. The spacecraft is drifting slowly away from the source and at the same time some jitter occurs. XMM-Newton SOC/SSC -- 2007-07-08
