Description:
    The Tubingen Echelle Spectrograph (TUES), designed and managed at the
    University of Tubingen, flew on the Orbiting and Retrievable Far and
    Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrograph (ORFEUS)-SPAS II space shuttle
    mission in 1996, returning spectra in the 900 Angstrom to 1400
    Angstrom wavelength range. The instrument was designed to achieve a
    spectral resolution of 10000 when used with an entrance aperture of
    10" diameter. During the 17.7 day flight, TUES returned 239 spectra of
    62 targets.
