He promised ultimately to give a was but the official Lennard a. Fisk said clean As possible an answer As we can. He was not certain that All of the vital but he also said i am somewhat con information would be found. And the ceded that we Are going to try and re chairman of the Senate subcommittee construct an event that took place a dec looking into the situation said it was Adetago. Symptomatic of broader problems at the space Agency. Sen.

And he reminded Gore a that was a very turbulent time in the history of the Hubble space Telescope a Replete with Cost overruns and management problems. Coteries that Are going to come from the observations Hubble is capable of today. Do not assume that Hubble is crippled from doing first class world class science that cannot be done in any other  but Hervey Stockman Deputy director of a Baltimore based consortium of University astronomy departments said the problem has already caused a change in the underlying philosophy that governs scientists Are virtually certain the telescopes problem is that images collected by its two main mirrors do not focus a us Lviv j Ollk p 111 a h j a a a a a o Fisk sought to put the Best face on the what the Telescope should be used for.

A we will adjust the observing program to emphasize the things that Hubble does Well today a such As ultraviolet imagery Fisk said. He said the telescopes effectiveness should be measured by its discoveries Over its entire 15-year lifespan and promised a you will Marvel at the Dis plans had been for the most critical exacting and potentially valuable explorations to be made during the Hub less first year of operation in Case something were to go wrong later. Many of those projects involved deep space imaging 01 Complex or dim formations. A those programs naturally have suffered a Stockman said. He said the consortium the space Telescope science Institute was heartened that 50 percent of the current program remains alive and that correction of the Hubble a problem should be relatively simple
