EXOSAT 35-Year Reunion - EXOSAT
EXOSAT 35-Year Reunion
 |
On 24-25 May 2018 many of the EXOSAT participants gathered at ESAC to celebrate 35 years since the launch (26 May 1983). Together with other European-led missions such as ROSAT and BeppoSAX, EXOSAT helped ensure that the European high-energy community was ready for its next challenge - to scientifically exploit data from ESA's next X-ray observatory, XMM-Newton.
