Description
The purpose of this project is to design an experiment which will be launched aboard the Space Shuttle via a canister provided by the Canaveral Council of Technical Societies installed in the cargo bay.The experiment will collect data from large X-ray sources in the galaxy. The objects to be studied are amoung the 100 brightest X-ray objects known. The data collected will be used in the evaluation of quasar models. Since quasars cannot be observed directly with equipment currently available for space travel objects within the galaxy which show various characteristics of quasars such as neutron stars, pulsars, blazers, and T Tauri stars will be studied so as to determine whether or not quasars are using any of the properties of these objects to produce energy.
