Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

Requirements on orbital background counting rates are described for the UV and visible detectors on the planned second generation instrument Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) and for the proposed Lyman Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic ExplorerExpected background rates and shielding requirements are analyzed for detector types in both instrumetns for low earth orbits, and for high orbits in the case of Lyman.
