Abstract

The Hubble Space Telescope activity by NASA and ESA began in 1971 and is now nearing completion. The Scientific Instruments are complete and their performance confirmed. The Optical Telescope Assembly integration is proceeding well, with the crucial Fine Guidance Sensors expected to perform as designed. Telescope delivery to the spacecraft contractor is expected in December 1984. Completion of the Verification and Assembly Program will then be followed by launch in the summer of 1986.
