Mission_Name: UIT
Description:
UIT was one of three ultraviolet telescopes on the ASTRO-1 mission
flown on the space shuttle Columbia during 2-10 December 1990.
The same three instruments were later flown on the space
shuttle Endeavour during 3-17 March 1995, as part of the ASTRO-2
mission. Exposures were obtained on 70-mm photographic film
in the 1200-3300 Angstrom range using broadband filters and later
digitized using a Perkin-Elmer microdensitometer. Image resolution
was 3 arcseconds over a 40 minute field of view. Overall, UIT-1
obtained 821 exposures of 66 targets, and UIT-2 obtained 758 images
of 193 targets.

Note (1): All three ASTRO missions assigned a unique pointing ID
for each target:
Digit one - see the "Science Class" section below
Digit two - Science Subclass See Bottom
Digits 3/4 - Target Numbers within Subclass
Digit 5 - N => Nth pointing at target with different roll or offset
Digit 6 - 0 => only one pointing for target
N => Nth pointing
Digits 5 and 6 often not available
Note (2): The UIT instrument included two six-position filter wheels.
The "A" filters were sensitive in the near-UV while the "B"
filters were sensitive in the Far-UV.
Note (3): Dataset identification as used by preview page generator etc.
