... HST . ... HST Overview . ... The GHRS can obtain spectra from about 1150 to 3200 . ... The repeatability of fluxes is even better, being better than 1%; i.e., it is possible to compare measures of the same wavelength in the same star at different times to within 1% for observations with the LSA. ... The source to be observed may be placed in a Large Science Aperture (LSA) or a Small Science Aperture (SSA). ... This means that the SSA is better for obtaining spectra with the best resolution. ...

KЭmmel July 10, 2008 ABS TRACT Based on thermal vacuum tests (TV3; March/April 2008), the performance of the WFC3 near-IR G102 and G141 grisms together with the new IR detector (IR4; FPA165) has been assessed. ... 6 ST-ECF Instrument Science Report WFC3-2008-16 Figure 2: Instrument efficiency of various orders for the WFC3 G141 grism as function of wavelength. ...

... The science from both these missions contributed to three of the Nobel Prizes ­ Giacconi (2002), Mather, and Smoot (2006) - awarded for NASA-based science. ... We encourage NASA to seek new launch capabilities to fill this strategic gap in moderate lift rockets to enable the Explorer program to continue launching missions with significant science payoff but reduced costs and timescales compared to large strategic missions. ... 18 Appendix B: Explorer Missions 1989-present (From PILMSS) No . ...
