Two cover mechanisms were designed and developed for the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) science payload to keep the EUVE telescope mirrors and detectors sealed from the atmospheric environment until the spacecraft was placed into orbit. There were four telescope front covers and seven motorized detector covers on the EUVE science payload. The EUVE satellite was launched into orbit in June 1992 and all the covers operated successfully after launch. This success can be attributed to high design margins and extensive testing at each level of assembly. This paper described the design of the telescope front covers and the motorized detector covers. This paper also discusses some of the many design considerations and modifications made as performance and reliability problems became apparent from each phase of testing.
