圖片是錢德拉(Chandra)X-射線望遠鏡在1999年發射前的照片
發射前的說明如下:
我們可以在這張廣角照片中看出,錢德拉(Chandra)X-射線望遠鏡在發射之前,包裹在保護物之下,並裝置在慣性上節(Inertial Upper Stage (IUS))火箭之上,靜靜地躺在太空梭哥倫比亞號的貨艙中。哥倫比亞號的組員於7月23日釋放出這枚用以表彰過世的諾貝爾獎得主-錢德拉塞卡(Subrahmanyan Chandrasehar)而命名的望遠鏡於軌道之上,目前它和其上的科學儀器正在接受詳細的檢查。為了發揮其利用X-射線來探索遙遠宇宙的能力,在未來的數天中,控制員將會執行一系列的點火命令,最後,將這個重達10,000磅的望遠鏡送至較高的偏心軌道上。事實上,在錢德拉(Chandra)最後的工作軌道上,其離地最近的距離為6,200哩,最遠則可達87,000哩,或者說是地球至月球距離的三分之一。這個狹長型的軌道可以載運著錢德拉上的高感度X-射線偵測器遠離地球的幅帶,並在其每一圈的軌道運行中,使得錢德拉可以有55個小時的連續觀測時間。
