| Popis: | Despite the hiatus in spacecraft launches after the Space Shuttle Challenger accident in 1986, the U.S. space program continues to generate research data on the basis of the productive operation of 18 scientific spacecraft. Attention is presently given to NASA's planned missions for the 1990s in such fields as astronomy and astrophysics (the Hubble Space Telescope, the Extreme UV Explorer), solar system exploration (the Magellan Venus orbiter, the Galileo Jupiter orbiter), space physics (the Tethered Satellite System, the Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite), earth science (the Upper Atmospheric Research Satellite), and microgravity sciences (the International Microgravity Observatory). |
