On 31 October 2013, calibrated IRIS data and images were released on the project website. [10] An open-access article describing the satellite and initial data was published in the journal Solar Physics. [11] Data collected from the IRIS spacecraft has shown that the interface region of the Sun is significantly more complex than previously ...

[1] [2] The 2005 NASA Authorization Act designated the American segment of the International Space Station as a national laboratory with the goal of increasing the use of the ISS by other federal agencies and the private sector. [3] Research on the ISS improves knowledge about the effects of long-term space exposure on the human body.
It successfully carried science and technology experiments for about 5.7 years that have revealed a broad and detailed collection of space environmental data. LDEF's 69 months in space provided scientific data on the long-term effects of space exposure on materials, components and systems that has benefited NASA spacecraft designers to this day ...
In TLE format the first two digits of the year and the dash are dropped. [2] For example, 1990-037A is the Space Shuttle Discovery on mission STS-31, which carried the Hubble Space Telescope into space. This launch was the 37th known successful launch worldwide in 1990.
