The Space Telescope is the first free-flying spacecraft designed to be serviced and repaired by EVA astronauts performing in-orbit maintenance tasks necessary to replace failed or worn-out components. The Telescope's operational profile anticipates in-orbit maintenance approximately two and one half years after initial launch, spacecraft return to ground after five years, and relaunch about one year later. Component design for in-orbit maintenance is being verified by 1-G and neutral buoyancy simulation techniques. Skylab experience led to the implementation of this approach which has significant economic benefits compared to 'one-time-use' space hardware.
