Descrizione : UK 5 was the fifth scientific satellite in a U.K./U.S. collaborative space research program. The satellite was the fifth such satellite and the third to be wholly built in the United Kingdom. It carried six experiments (five U.K. and one U.S.) for cosmic X-ray studies that measured the spectra, polarization, and pulsar features of X-ray sources. The tasks of the scientists with experiments on the UK 5 satellite were, in general, to improve the accuracy of position measurement of X-ray stars and to measure their energy spectra.
