Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer
(EUVE, Explorer 67)
(1990s ultraviolet space telescope)
The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE)
was a NASA Explorers Program space telescope for surveying extreme ultraviolet
launched in 1992 and operational until 2001.
It carried out an ultraviolet photometric
survey
and was used for UV spectrography.
It actually carried four individual Wolter telescopes,
three for wide-field surveying, and one for
spectrography on targeted ultraviolet sources.
