A strategy for recovery: Report of the HST Strategy Panel

The panel met to identify and assess strategies for recovering the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) capabilities degraded by a spherical aberration. The panels findings and recommendations to correct the problem with HST are given. The optical solution is a pair of mirrors for each science instrument field of view. The Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR) is the proposed device to carry and deploy the corrective optics. A 1993 servicing mission is planned.
