The Carruthers Geocorona Observatory, including an integrated UV spectrometer, is set to launch in 2025 and will be stationed at Lagrange Point 1 to study the Earths exosphere. Credit: NASAThe Carruthers Observatory, releasing in 2025, will explore the Earths exosphere from a stable point one million miles away, offering extraordinary continuous observations.The ultraviolet (UV) spectrometer was successfully incorporated into the satellite bus of the Carruthers Geocorona Observatory.BAE Systems successfully finishes the integration of the Carruthers Geocorona Observatorys ultraviolet (UV) spectrometer onto the satellite bus, the next major action in finishing the NASA Earth-monitoring satellite. Carruthers is anticipated to be the very first SmallSat to operate at L1, a gravitationally steady orbit point between the Earth and Sun about one million miles away, and it will be the very first satellite to provide constant observations of the Earths exosphere.BAE Systems professional checks the Carruthers Geocorona Observatory satellite after combination of the ultraviolet (UV) spectrometer onto the satellite bus.
