Tubingen Ultraviolet Echelle Spectrometer
(TUES)
(1990s UV spectrometer used on two Space Shuttle missions)
The Tubingen Ultraviolet Echelle Spectrometer (TUES)
was an instrument developed and managed by the University of Tubingen
with a spectral resolution of 10000.
It was used on the ORFEUS Telescope,
a 1 meter telescope used during two Space Shuttle science missions,
ORFEUS-SPAS 1 in 1993 and ORFEUS-SPAS 2 in 1996.
