Prospects for astrometry with the Hubble Space Telescope
Celestial Mechanics, 1985The Hubble Space Telescope (HST), a large optical telescope having an aperture of 2.4 meters and a length of 8.8 meters, is being developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. This telescope will be placed into earth orbit by the space shuttle.

Mining Hubble Space Telescope images
2017 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN), 2017Astrophysicists rely on crowd sourced initiatives to classify galaxies in large surveys. The next generation of telescopes will lead to a revolutionary increase in the amount of unlabelled data available to astrophysicists making crowd sourcing infeasible. To cope with this significant increase in data astrophysicists will need unsupervised techniques.

Missouri medicine, 1990
This paper reports on the Hubble space telescope. The telescope is expected to help answer key questions in astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology, such as how stars and galaxies form and evolve; the size and age of the universe; the nature of quasars, black holes, and other exotic objects; the characteristics of planets in our solar system; and ...

1992
The EO galaxy M87 harbours the prototypical and most studied example of an optical jet. First observed by Curtis in 1918, it remained little more than a curiosity, until Baade and Minkowski studied it in 1954 and first used the term “jet” to describe the sequence of optical knots extending to about 20″ from the nucleus.

Hubble Vision: Astronomy with the Hubble Space Telescope
Physics Education, 1997The phenomenon of spherical aberration received a lot of attention in the summer of 1990 when NASA realized that its two billion dollar telescope did not work as expected. The small but significant spherical aberration in the main mirror of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was a big blow to NASA.

The Hubble Space Telescope Observatory
Physics Today, 1990No other astronomy project has taken so long to develop, proven so technologically challenging or cost so much as the Hubble Space Telescope. At a development cost of about $1.5 billion, the HST is big science by the standards of modern physics. Soon after the HST is launched on 12 April, the physics community will determine if the resources and ...

Hubble Space Telescope overview
29th Aerospace Sciences Meeting, 1991A general overview of the performance and current status of the Hubble Space Telescope is presented. Most key spacecraft subsystems are operating well, equaling or exceeding specifications. Spacecraft thermal properties, power, and communications, are superb. The only spacecraft subsystem to have failed, a gyro, is briefly discussed.

Creation of the Hubble Space Telescope
Experimental Astronomy, 2009The Hubble Space Telescope has been the most successful space astronomy project to date, producing images that put the public in awe and images and spectra that have produced many scientific discoveries. It is the natural culmination of a dream envisioned when rocket flight into space was first projected and a goal set for the US space program soon ...

Technology and the Hubble Space Telescope
2nd Aerospace Maintenance Conference, 1986The components of the Hubble Space Telescope which is a 13.1 m long, 4.27 m in diameter, and weighs 11,000 kg are described. The telescope will be placed in a 600-km circular orbit of 28.5 deg inclination and it has an expected service life of 15 years.
