Abstract
in mid-1994 the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) questioned the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Project at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center about the feasibility of using HST to observe the planet Venus. To assess the mission safety of such an observation, a worst-case analysis of the effects of exposing the inner forward portion of the HST's light shield to direct sunlight was performed. The results, the specifics of the actual observation plan, and the implementation of operational protections formed a rationale for proceeding with the science observations on January 24, 1995.© (1996) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
