The ASTRO Observatory had three primary instruments : the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope(UIT), the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope(HUT) and the Wisconsin Ultraviolet Photo-Polarimeter Experiment(WUPPE). The Astro Observatory was designed to use many of the spacelab components and flew on two different shuttle flights. The first Astro flight was on December 2-11, 1990, aboard the shuttle Columbia. The X-ray experiment Broad Band X-Ray Telescope(BBXRT) was also part of the Astro-1 flight. The second flight was on March 2-18, 1995, aboard the shuttle Endeavour.  2, record 1, English, - Astro%20observatory

Solar-B's broad objective is to allow the solar photosphere and corona to be understood as a system. Its payload consists of three instruments : a 0. 5m solar optical telescope, an EUV imaging spectrometer(EIS) and an X-ray/EUV telescope.  3, record 4, English, - solar%20optical%20telescope

Orbiting Astronomical Observatory(OAO), series of four orbiting observatories launched between 1966 and 1972 by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA) to provide astronomical data in the ultraviolet and X-ray wavelengths filtered out by the earth's atmosphere. Only two of the four launches were successful, however. OAO-2, launched in 1978, which carried two large telescopes in addition to a cluster of four ultraviolet telescopes, four photoelectric telescopes, and a number of spectrometers and other devices, weighed 4, 200 lb(1, 900 kg) and was the heaviest satellite orbited to that time. Working primarily with ultraviolet radiation, it was able to photograph very young stars. OAO-3, which was also called Copernicus, was launched in 1972. Carrying what was at that time the largest telescope ever orbited and three smaller X-ray telescopes, OAO-3 was primarily used in the study of ultraviolet radiation from interstellar gas and dust and from stars near the edges of the Milky Way.  2, record 5, English, - Orbiting%20Astronomical%20Observatory

The Chandra X-ray Observatory was launched in July 1999. It will be taking x-ray pictures of the universe with unprecedented clarity. The European Space Agency will launch the X-ray Multi-Mirror(XMM) telescope, in early 200 which will have even bigger mirrors than Chandra.  1, record 7, English, - X%2Dray%20Multi%2DMirror%20telescope
