Hubble Telescope Products
The Hubble Space Telescope is a cooperative program of the European Space Agency
(ESA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to operate a
long-lived space-based observatory for the benefit of the international
astronomical community. HST is an observatory first dreamt of in the 1940s,
designed and built in the 1970 and 80s, and operational only in the 1990s. Since
its preliminary inception, HST was designed to be a different type of mission
for NASA -- a long term space-based observatory. To accomplish this goal and
protect the spacecraft against instrument and equipment failures, NASA had
always planned on regular servicing missions. Hubble has special grapple
fixtures, 76 handholds, and stabilized in all three axes. HST is a 2.4-meter
reflecting telescope which was deployed in low-Earth orbit (600 kilometers) by
the crew of the space shuttle Discovery (STS-31) on 25 April 1990. Sadly,
talks are underway to end the Hubble project......
