MAST EUVE All Sky Survey (376 words)
The completed survey data set covers approximately 97% of the sky with exposures ranging from a few hundred seconds at the ecliptic to 20 kiloseconds at the poles.
The scanning telescopes are swept across the sky by the slowly revolving spacecraft, while the deep survey telescope is pointed down the Earth's shadow.
Consequently, scientists configured the mission so that the deep survey telescope always pointed away from the Sun and only took measurements while viewing down Earth's shadow - the night portion of the orbit when the Earth blocks the Sun and shields the spacecraft from sunlight.
