Scientific paper

The Fuse/Lyman orbiting telescope will use a 1-m aperture grazing incidence telescope, a Rowland spectrograph, and a high sensitivity photon-counting detector, in its exploration of the 90-120 nm UV spectrum. Attention is presently given to the development program currently underway to space duty-qualify the large format photon-counting array detectors used by the telescope, by means both of ground tests and of the 'Endeavour' Space Shuttle getaway special experiment planned for 1988. Planned launch date is 1993.
