NASA’s most powerful X-ray telescope, called the Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO), was launched from the space shuttle Columbia on July 23, 1999. The spacecraft could remain in orbit for 25–50 years and the scientific mission should last about 5–15 years. Named in honor of the late Indian-American Nobel laureate Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, it was formerly known as the Advance X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF).
