There is little doubt that the Hubble Space Telescope is one of the most important astronomical instruments of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Spectacular imagery has been sent back to earth-bound observers leading to a much greater understanding and appreciation of the universe around us. Much of this ability to image has been due to an extraordinary detector: the charge-coupled device (CCD). The intent of this paper is to review the history of the CCDs that have been employed on Hubble and consider some of the lessons learned.
