Alan Stern

Sol Alan Stern (born November 22, 1957) is an American engineer, planetary scientist and space tourist.

See Spartan Halley and Alan Stern

Allotropes of oxygen

There are several known allotropes of oxygen.

See Spartan Halley and Allotropes of oxygen

Angular resolution

Angular resolution describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution.

See Spartan Halley and Angular resolution

Canadarm

Canadarm or Canadarm1 (officially Shuttle Remote Manipulator System or SRMS, also SSRMS) is a series of robotic arms that were used on the Space Shuttle orbiters to deploy, manoeuvre, and capture payloads.

See Spartan Halley and Canadarm

Carbon dioxide

Carbon dioxide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula.

See Spartan Halley and Carbon dioxide

Carbon monosulfide

Carbon monosulfide is a chemical compound with the formula CS.

See Spartan Halley and Carbon monosulfide

Carbon monoxide

Carbon monoxide (chemical formula CO) is a poisonous, flammable gas that is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and slightly less dense than air.

See Spartan Halley and Carbon monoxide

F-number

An f-number is a measure of the light-gathering ability of an optical system such as a camera lens.

See Spartan Halley and F-number

Gyroscope

A gyroscope (from Ancient Greek γῦρος gŷros, "round" and σκοπέω skopéō, "to look") is a device used for measuring or maintaining orientation and angular velocity.

See Spartan Halley and Gyroscope

Halley's Comet

Halley's Comet is the only known short-period comet that is consistently visible to the naked eye from Earth, appearing every 72–80 years.

See Spartan Halley and Halley's Comet

Hydroxy group

In chemistry, a hydroxy or hydroxyl group is a functional group with the chemical formula and composed of one oxygen atom covalently bonded to one hydrogen atom.

See Spartan Halley and Hydroxy group

Judith Resnik

Judith Arlene Resnik (April 5, 1949 – January 28, 1986) was an American electrical engineer, software engineer, biomedical engineer, pilot and NASA astronaut who died in the Space Shuttle ''Challenger'' disaster.

Nitric oxide

Nitric oxide (nitrogen oxide or nitrogen monoxide) is a colorless gas with the formula.

See Spartan Halley and Nitric oxide

Photodiode

A photodiode is a semiconductor diode sensitive to photon radiation, such as visible light, infrared or ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma rays.

See Spartan Halley and Photodiode

Photodissociation

Photodissociation, photolysis, photodecomposition, or photofragmentation is a chemical reaction in which molecules of a chemical compound are broken down by absorption of light or photons.

See Spartan Halley and Photodissociation

Ronald McNair

Ronald Erwin McNair (October 21, 1950 – January 28, 1986) was an American NASA astronaut and physicist.

Space Shuttle Challenger

Space Shuttle Challenger (OV-099) was a Space Shuttle orbiter manufactured by Rockwell International and operated by NASA. Spartan Halley and Space Shuttle Challenger are space Shuttle Challenger disaster.

Space Shuttle Challenger disaster

On January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle ''Challenger'' broke apart 73 seconds into its flight, killing all seven crew members aboard.

See Spartan Halley and Space Shuttle Challenger disaster

Star tracker

A star tracker is an optical device that measures the positions of stars using photocells or a camera.

See Spartan Halley and Star tracker

STS-51-L

STS-51-L was the disastrous 25th mission of NASA's Space Shuttle program and the final flight of Space Shuttle ''Challenger''. Spartan Halley and STS-51-L are space Shuttle Challenger disaster.

See Spartan Halley and STS-51-L

Ultraviolet astronomy

Ultraviolet astronomy is the observation of electromagnetic radiation at ultraviolet wavelengths between approximately 10 and 320 nanometres; shorter wavelengths—higher energy photons—are studied by X-ray astronomy and gamma-ray astronomy.
