The Shuttle is scheduled to carry the Hopkins UV Telescope (HUT) aloft in 1986. HUT will be one of three telescopes on the mission and will be sensitive to the 450-1800 A interval. Its primary goals will be observations of Halley's Comet, the planets, distant galaxies and quasars. It will be controlled by Spacelab personnel and features a 0.9 m primary mirror, a spectrograph on the focal plane, and an Si intensified image television camera for on-line image monitoring. The main component of the spectrograph will be a 1024 channel self-scanning Reticon photodiode array coupled by optic fibers to the microchannel detector plates. HUT is presently undergoing qualification testing.
