| DESCRIPTION |
The WISE spacecraft is a three-axis stabilized satellite measuring about 2.85m x 2m x 1.73m, carrying a 40cm (diameter) telescope. The primary mission was a full-sky survey in four bands ranging from 3.4 to 22 micrometers. It ended when the cryogen was exhausted in February 2011. In 2013, the WISE telescope was reactivated for a new mission: Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE). The NEOWISE mission was ended on 31 July 2024, and the WISE spacecraft burned up on re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere on 1 November 2024.
