Copernicus was the third satellite in the OAO program. It was launched the 21 august of 1972 and operated till 1981. The main instrument was an ultraviolet telescope with a spectrometer to measure interstellar absorption lines in the spectra of stellar objects. However it carried also an X-ray experiment provided by University College of London/MSSL consisted in 4 co-aligned experiments sensitive in the 1-10 keV energy range. This database accesses the raw FITS file containing data obtained from the UCL X-ray Experiment (UCLXE) package on board Copernicus. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
