One second of arc pointing accuracy has been achieved by servocontrolling the secondary mirror of a Dall-Kirkham telescope flown in an Aerobee 150 rocket. The primary mirror is weight-relieved, mounted at its nodal line and can resolve 2 arc sec. An objective LiF prism mounted near the focal plane provides a lowresolution far uv spectrum suitable for studying planetary atmospheres. Solar blind photomultiplier tubes with pulse counting electronics provide a dark current background of less than 1 count/sec. Spectra of Venus, Jupiter and eta Ursa Majoris (U Ma) were obtained in a flight from White Sands, New Mexico, on 5 December 1967. Further flights are planned with the recovered package.
通过对搭载在“蜜蜂150号”火箭上的多尔-柯克汉姆望远镜的副镜进行伺服控制，实现了1角秒的指向精度。主镜经过减重处理，安装在其节点线上，分辨率可达2角秒。安装在焦平面附近的一块氟化锂物镜棱镜可提供适合研究行星大气的低分辨率远紫外光谱。配备脉冲计数电子设备的日盲光电倍增管产生的暗电流背景小于每秒1次计数。1967年12月5日，在从新墨西哥州白沙进行的一次飞行中获取了金星、木星和大熊座η星（大熊座η）的光谱。计划利用回收组件进行进一步飞行。
