Wisconsin Ultraviolet Photo-polarimeter Experiment
(WUPPE)
(1990s ultraviolet space telescope used on two Shuttle Shuttle missions)
The Wisconsin Ultraviolet Photo-polarimeter Experiment
(WUPPE)
was a 50 cm ultraviolet (UV) telescope
developed at the University of Wisconsin,
that was used during two Space Shuttle science missions,
Astro-1 in 1990 and Astro-2 in 1995.
It was used to check out the polarization
of a number of UV sources.
