Instrument Handbooks
- Version 6.0 (June 1995): The primary source for information about the post-COSTAR FOS. This version was prepared for Cycle 6 proposers and observers. All earlier versions are OBSOLETE for the purposes of technical descriptions of FOS strategies and on-orbit performance.
- Version 5.0 (May 1994)
- Version 2.0 (May 1989)
- Version 1.1 (pre-launch, May 1990): This version, which consists of the original 1984 description of the instrument and a May 1990 supplemental update, presents the best available technical description of FOS instrumental design and low-level operational modes. Archival researchers may find the the April, 1992 (3.0) version and its corrigenda useful for description of on-orbit FOS usage in the pre-COSTAR era.
- Version 1.0 (pre-launch Oct 1985)
- Rough Draft: Part I | Part II (1986)
