First sentence: The International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) (see Fig. 1), launched on 26 January 1978, has been the first space-borne instrument welcoming visiting astronomers in real time, just like most ground-based observatories - with the difference that the telescope was not in an adjacent dome, but in a geosynchronous orbit over the Atlantic Ocean.
