TAUVEX:2011年的状况

TAUVEX: status in 2011

Noah Brosch, Jayant Murthy

摘要:

我们介绍了TAUVEX仪器的简短历史,该仪器旨在提供紫外线多波段宽视场成像,强调处理这一基础科学任务的不同空间机构缺乏足够和积极的支持。TAUVEX于1985年首次构想,1989年被以色列航天局选为其第一优先有效载荷,它正在迅速成为空间天文学寿命最长的空间项目之一。在被拒绝在以色列国家卫星上发射,然后不在光谱X伽马(SRG)国际天文台上飞行后,自2003年以来,它被证明是ISRO将于2000年代末发射的GSAT-4印度卫星的一部分。然而,在2010年2月推出前两个月,它被从商定的平台上删除。这被证明是有益的,因为GSAT-4及其发射器于2010年4月15日因运载火箭第三级故障而丢失。TAUVEX目前储存在印度空间研究组织位于班加罗尔的洁净室中,没有明确的迹象表明它可能会在何时或在什么平台上发射。

英文摘要:

We present a short history of the TAUVEX instrument, conceived to provide multi-band wide-field imaging in the ultraviolet, emphasizing the lack of sufficient and aggressive support on the part of the different space agencies that dealt with this basic science mission. First conceived in 1985 and selected by the Israel Space Agency in 1989 as its first priority payload, TAUVEX is fast becoming one of the longest-living space project of space astronomy. After being denied a launch on a national Israeli satellite, and then not flying on the Spectrum X-Gamma (SRG) international observatory, it was manifested since 2003 as part of ISRO's GSAT-4 Indian satellite to be launched in the late 2000s. However, two months before the launch, in February 2010, it was dismounted from its agreed-upon platform. This proved to be beneficial, since GSAT-4 and its launcher were lost on April 15 2010 due to the failure of the carrier rocket's 3rd stage. TAUVEX is now stored in ISRO's clean room in Bangalore with no firm indications when or on what platform it might be launched.
