When ever the satellite emerges from the earth's shadow, two of these devices, including Harvard's telescope, constantly scan different portions of the sun's disc and record the intensity of the sun's radiation in varying sections of the spectrum...

The telescope can view the sun in one of 10,000 different wavelengths of ultra-violet light and can aim at a single point, take a picture of the entire sun, or scan an area only 1/15 the size of the sun's visible disc. Where earlier OSO satellites were able to take only one picture...
