Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope acquisition procedure tested by Jernigan. 20 minutes possible for target acquisition.

Transcript
It's one which is of interest for the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope or 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 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-appointing system software.
