Copernicus Observatory to Study Stars From Earth Orbit
An astronomical observatory named Copernicus is to be launched Monday from Cape Kennedy to study stars and deep space X-rays from pulsars. Weighing 4900 pounds, it will orbit 460 miles high on an Atlas Centaur rocket, with a 32 inch telescope to observe ultraviolet light from young stars and interstellar dust.
