Summary:
Document will describe some design feature or capability of the Hubble
Space Telescope.
Narrative:
A relevant document will provide information on the instruments, components,
controls, capabilities, or other technical features of the Hubble Space
Telescope. Reports on delays in launching, or the actual launch of the
Hubble, are NOT relevant. In addition, only initial reports which
technically detail the telescope's flawed mirror, how the defect will impact
the telescope's effectiveness, or how the flaw will be corrected, are
relevant. Further references to the defective mirror, particularly
political or non-scientific discussion of the mistake (or the project
generally), are NOT relevant. Also, references to the Hubble Constant, or
the scientist for whom both the telescope and the astronomical term were
named, are NOT relevant.
