Explore the UVI Telescope procedure and its importance for celestial coordinates. Learn about the opportunity to target a specific object with the UIT.
Transcript
It's one which is of interest for the ultraviolet imaging telescope for UIT. The opportunity for acquiring that target is a bit shorter than some of the previous ones. We have about 20 minutes possible for this target. So we'll be standing by to see if the procedure that's being performed by a Jernigan will work out. Again, it's a particular procedure known as initial star acquisition and identification. It's going back to a slightly longer procedure so that the celestial coordinates can be updated in the instrument pointing system software.
