Scientific paper

The procedure for transferring a ground-based telescope to the Shuttle is reviewed. Attention is given to equatorial mounts, the bearings for the right ascension axis, and the precision drive system. Methods for obtaining subarcsecond pointing are indicated with reference to bandwidth, a feed-forward servo loop, limit vernier rocket firings, photographs made from short exposures, and computer deconvolution.
