Scientific paper

The Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR) hardware, scheduled for launch aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour on December 2, 1993, will be installed in the NASA HST to correct its primary mirror's spherical aberration. Considerable flexibility has been designed into COSTAR in order to allow it to handle misalignments and uncertainties generated by launch vibrations in instrument-aperture positions. Three instruments will thereby be corrected: the Faint Object Camera, Faint Object Spectrograph, and High Speed Photometer.
