Description
The Hubble Space Telescope science return has been and will continue to be improved through regular shuttle servicing missions which replace first generation science instruments with advanced design second and third generation instruments. Orders of magnitude improvement in science return per dollar comes primarily from incorporation of state of the art 1/100 wave optics such as were used on Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR) to fix Hubbies vision and from large area Charge Coupled Device (CCD) and Multi Anode MicroChannel Array (MAMA) detectors that enable hundreds of times more spectral and/or spatial coverage of the sky with approximately the same sensitivity.
