Scientific paper

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) servicing mission was awarded the Collier Trophy for 1994. The comprehensive servicing was required because the HST had developed a seemingly fatal; and irreparable manufacturing flaw that would severely degrade or even scuttle its fifteen year mission. This essay summarizes the problems with the HST, both managerial and technical, and the work which went into the solution, culminating with the successful servicing mission.
