NASA Infrared Telescope Facility $66.91 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (NASA IRTF) is a 3meter (9.8 ft) telescope optimized for use in infrared astronomy and located at the Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii. It was first built to support the Voyager missions and is now the USA National facility for infrared astronomy, providing continued support to planetary, solar neighborhood, and deep space applications. According to the IRTFs time allocation rules, at least 50 of the observing time is devoted to planetary science. This is quite unusual for a telescope of this size.

Replicarz DRW56259 NASA Space Shuttle Discovery with Hubble Space Telescope $74.86 Dragon’s newest venture into space models encompasses the famous Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and the Space Shuttle Discovery. This space shuttle blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center on 11 February 1997 on STS82 a servicing mission. The HST this vital spaceprobing piece of astronomical equipment underwent servicing by crewmen of the Discovery. This was the second servicing mission for this hightech telescope that was placed in orbit in 1990. The maintenance significantly upgraded the HST’s capabilities with new apparatus like the new Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) and Near Infrared Camera and MultiObject Spectrometer (NICMOS). The work carried out by the Discovery’s crew ensured the HST could operate until the next scheduled servicing in 1999. The mission involved five spacewalks where the crew used up to 150 different tools or instruments at various stages. Space Shuttle Discovery returned to Earth ten days later after the successful completion of this mission. True to 1/400. Highly collectible. High quality diecast construction. |
