Abstract

[The HST is one of the most successful and productive scientific instruments ever built. It has provided images and scientific data that has advanced mankind’s knowledge of the universe, and not since the lunar missions of Apollo has the public consciousness been so stimulated. With Service Mission 4, completed in 2009, the HST received a life extension of 5 years or more. As long as the Hubble equipment continues to function, and congressional and international funding is provided, the HST should stay functional and operational past the original decommissioning date in 2014, and hopefully until the James Webb Space Telescope becomes operational sometime in 2018.]
