	MAST EUVE All Sky Survey
		The completed survey data set covers approximately 97% of the sky with exposures ranging from a few hundred seconds at the ecliptic to 20 kiloseconds at the poles.
		The scanning telescopes are swept across the sky by the slowly revolving spacecraft, while the deep survey telescope is pointed down the Earth's shadow.
		Consequently, scientists configured the mission so that the deep survey telescope always pointed away from the Sun and only took measurements while viewing down Earth's shadow - the night portion of the orbit when the Earth blocks the Sun and shields the spacecraft from sunlight.

		The Deep Ecliptic Survey (DES) is a project to find Kuiper belt objects (KBOs), using the facilities of the National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO).
		Since 1998 through the end of 2003, the survey covered 550 square degrees with sensitivity of 22.5, i.e.
		The survey has also established the mean Kuiper Belt plane and introduced new formal definitions of the dynamical classes of Kuiper belt objects

		In this proposal, we seek to undertake a deep survey of the ecliptic to learn the dimensions, content, and dynamical characteristics of the Kuiper Belt.
		The statistics of our survey are sufficient to answer fundamental questions regarding the origin and evolution of our own Solar System.
		Moreover, this survey is badly needed to facilitate physical studies (e.g., spectroscopy, photometry, and thermal IR measurements) of KBOs with 6-to- 10-meter-class groundbased telescopes and with space observatories such as HST and SIRTF.

		Morevoer, it was seen quickly that these "planets" move all in the same plane, in a band of the sky we call the ecliptic, or the zodiac, which is divided in 13 constellations: the 12 "classical" zodiacal constellations, plus Ophiuchus, were planets spend in fact more time than in neighboring scorpion.

		These comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets, only slightly inclined from the plane of the ecliptic (near which all of the planets orbit).
		Thus far, these distant EKOs have escaped detection by deep ecliptic surveys, leaving astronomers to consider whether the outer E-K Belt was perturbed by something else other than the giant planets or that the primordial Solar nebula was smaller than currently hypothesized (Joseph M.

		Our survey extends also to highly inclined orbits since we selected the initial conditions within different slices in inclination.

		Today, roughly half of the 1,000 known KBOs have been discovered by Millis and his team in a project known as the Deep Ecliptic Survey.
		The team is in the project's homestretch, sampling the night sky in the northern and southern hemispheres in a band of sky that reaches seven degrees above and below the ecliptic — an imaginary path traced by the sun and the planets as they move across the sky.
		Unlike the Oort Cloud, a halo of extremely distant icy objects whose orbits trace a rough sphere around the sun, most KBOs appear to orbit the sun roughly in a plane along the ecliptic.

		The goal, says survey leader Robert Millis, is to discover enough objects to begin to understand the scale of the belt, the three-dimensional distribution of objects in space, and their orbits.
		In January and February last year, Hubble’s new Advanced Camera for Surveys focused on a small slice of sky within the constellation Virgo, about one and a half times the distance to Pluto.
		Astronomers expected to find about 60 objects but came up with 3, which suggests there may be an outer edge to the Kuiper belt beyond which few objects reside.
