What Does ORFEUS Stand For?
ORFEUS stands for Orbiting Retrievable Far And Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrometers
ORFEUS, which stands for Orbiting Retrievable Far And Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrometers, refers to a series of scientific instruments designed for the analysis of far and extreme ultraviolet radiation from celestial sources. These spectrometers are deployed in space to capture high-resolution spectral data, enabling astronomers to study the composition, temperature, density, and dynamics of astronomical phenomena. With their retrievable design, ORFEUS instruments facilitate the maintenance and upgrading of technology, enhancing our understanding of the universe through detailed spectral observations.
