FUSE (Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer)
FUSE is a NASA-supported astronomy mission that was launched on June 24,
1999, to explore the Universe using the technique of high-resolution
spectroscopy in the far-ultraviolet spectral region.
The Johns Hopkins University has the lead role in developing and now
operating the mission, in collaboration with The University of Colorado at
Boulder, The University of California at Berkeley, international partners
the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) and the French Space Agency (CNES), and
corporate partners. FUSE is part of NASA's Origins Program, under the
auspices of NASA's Office of Space Science.
