KSC-90pc-0405
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in a test cell at the Vertical Processing Facility has completed functional testing of its science instruments and is being readied for a final contamination inspection and cleaning. With HST, astronomers will be able to view 97 percent of the known universe, and will be able to get pictures unlimited and undistorted by the Earth's atmosphere. Compared with earth-based observatories, the HST will be able to view celestial objects that are 50 times fainter, provide images that are 10 times sharper, and see objects that are seven times farther away.
