EP-165 Spacelab

Of the immense quantities of radiation that pervade the Universe and impinge on the Earth, only those in visible light and radio and a few in infrared are able to penetrate to the Earth's surface. Spacelab's position above the atmosphere permits observation of all radiations, including those screened out by the atmosphere.
