It source Nasa Hubble Telescope an expensive Endeavor if the Hubble space Telescope returns taxpayers investment in scientific Bounty Mankind is in for a cosmic Awakening. Over Hubble s 15-year lifespan Nasa plans to spend about $7 billion on the program not including the Cost of five servicing missions by shuttle astronauts. The Observatory has already Cost More than $2 billion. The first Quot House Call Quot to Hubble now under Way Cost $86 million above original budget primarily because of the extra work and equipment needed to Correct a manufacturing defect in the Telescope s primary Mirror. That figure includes $50 million for a package of corrective mirrors andj$24 million to modify a wide Field pkg notary camera which was already under a development before the misshapen Mirror was discovered. Nasa made up most of the budget shortfall by scaling Down upgrades to replacement scientific instruments and by delaying some new equipment in total Nasa has spent $251 million since 1990 on ground operations building and testing replacement instruments and other support activities for the Hubble. The Cost of the shuttle flight itself is a Karl Tala around another $500 million. Since Hubble s inception in 1977, Nasa has spent $2.97 billion on the project including $1.6 billion for the Telescope. The european space Agency spent about $250 million developing the Telescope s solar arrays and one of its science instruments a faint object camera. Replacing the wobbly wings which is to be tackled by the endeavour astronauts Cost Esa an additional $50 million. A United press International Day klember 7,1993 the stars and stripes
