The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a national facility that consists of a 2.4-m aperture Ritchey-Chretien cassegrain telescope weighing approximately 9525 kg with various energy detectors designed for the observation of IR, visible, and UV wavelengths (0.12 to 1000 microns). The HST was deployed into a 28.5-degree inclination, circular orbit, which permits a mission lifetime of 15 years. The orbit is decaying circular between 594 and 400 km x 28.5 deg; the period = 95 minutes. Information is presented in tabular form on the following areas: Deep Space Network support, frequency assignments, telemetry, command, and tracking support responsibility.
