Museum description:

Description

This is a shell of a control and display unit for the International Ultraviolet explorer (IUE) satellite, which operated from 1978 to 1996. The unit was the first of five engineering control consoles designed and built by the Bendix Corporation for NASA and the European space Agency.

The center section is a typical instrument console with two monitors, a keyboard, and a joystick. Facades simulating a minicomputer and disk drive are attached to the right. The unit was refurbished in 1982 for diplsay in the National Air and Space Museum's "Stars" gallery. Instrument facades, a keyboard, a teleprinter, and a working CRT were added to simulate a working IUE console.
