The first such move occurred on 23 July 2012, when the COS FUV spectrum was moved to the COS FUV Lifetime Position 2 (LP2). ... It now appears that the move to COS/FUV Lifetime Position 3 will not occur until early 2015, and so a substantial fraction of Cycle 22 observationsare likely to occur at the COS FUV lifetime position 2, prior to the change. ...

... When the Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by the planet Uranus in January 1986, astronomers were treated to their first close-up glimpse of the satellites that orbit the seventh planet. ... But by far the most intriguing of those 15 satellites was a jigsaw-puzzle world called Miranda . ... How dark was it at Miranda? One of the Voyager scientists put it this way: Taking pictures in the Uranus system is like trying to do photography in a ballpark at night when the only light comes from a single candle. ...

... Low Polar Orbit . ... Different types of satellite orbits have different uses: while the synchronous orbit is best for communication satellites, Lagrangian point orbits help monitor the solar wind before it reaches Earth. ... Many spacecraft use such orbits, e.g. the US Air Force surveillance satellites of the DMSP series, or the series of French Earth-resources spacecraft SPOT . ... If the satellite then starts near a noon-midnight orbit, it will always pass near noon and near midnight. ...

... Although they all formed from similar material, it is a mystery why the planets closest to the Sun Mercury, Venus and Earth are so different. Astronomers hope to learn more about how they were created by studying asteroids, which are pieces of rock that were surplus to requirements in planet building.
