Scientific paper

For approximately 17 months during 1999-2000, the star tracker camera on board the Wide-Field Infrared Explorer (WIRE) satellite was used as an instrument to perform high-precision photometry in space. In this paper, I summarize the operating characteristics of the instrument, the data analysis techniques developed to support WIRE's new mission, and some recent scientific results. In addition, I discuss lessons learned from this first asteroseismology mission in space, and their applicability to upcoming missions such as Eddington.
