About this work
Kennedy Space Center, Fla. — Workers in the Multi-Payload Processing Facility check the solar array panels on the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) satellite after they were deployed. The GALEX is an orbiting space telescope that will observe galaxies in ultraviolet light across 10 billion years of cosmic history. Led by the California Institute of Technology, GALEX will conduct several first-of-a-kind sky surveys, including an extra-galactic (beyond our galaxy) ultraviolet all-sky survey.
