Space Telescope

Japanese: スペーステレスコープ(英語表記)Space Telescope
Space Telescope
A 2.4m orbital telescope launched aboard the Space Shuttle by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. It is named after E. Hubble, who discovered the redshift of galaxies. It can observe electromagnetic waves from stars and galaxies outside the atmosphere with wavelengths from 110nm to 1mm (ultraviolet, ultraviolet, infrared, and submillimeter regions) with the maximum resolution of its aperture, and is therefore capable of detecting faint celestial objects up to 28th magnitude. The F 24's reticletian-type Cassegrain focus has a field of view of nearly 30', which is divided into five parts, with a direct imaging camera in the center and four types of observation instruments installed in the four peripheral parts: a high-dispersion spectrometer, a high-speed photometer, and a faint object spectrometer.

アメリカ航空宇宙局が中心になって,スペースシャトルに搭載して打ち上げた,口径2.4mの軌道望遠鏡。銀河の赤方偏移を発見したE.ハッブルにちなんでハッブル望遠鏡と呼ばれている。大気圏外で恒星や銀河からくる波長110nmから1mmにわたる電磁波(紫外・可紫・赤外・サブミリ波領域)を,口径の干渉限界いっぱいの解像力で観測できるために,28等級に及ぶ微光天体を検出する能力をもつ。F24のリチクレチアン式カセグレン焦点は,写野が30′近くあるが,これを五分割し,中心部に直接撮像カメラ,四分した周辺部には,高分散分光器,高速測光器,微光天体分光器など,4種の観測器が装着された。
