  • Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite (SWAS) - Harvard - SWAS is a NASA Small Explorer Project (SMEX) designed to study the chemical composition of interstellar gas clouds. Its primary objective is to survey water, molecular oxygen, carbon, and isotopic carbon monoxide emission in a variety of galactic star forming regions. [Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics]

  • Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite (SWAS) NASA - The SWAS instrument is a submillimeter wave telescope that incorporates dual heterodyne radiometers and an acousto-optical spectrometer to investigate the composition of dense interstellar clouds. The SWAS mission will operate in a 600 km circular orbit with a 70° inclination. NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
