SUMMARY

The Space Telescope, launched into orbit in 1989, promised to be the most powerful optical telescope ever built, yielding new insights into the past, present, and future of the universe. The authors trace the Telescope's history, and examine the complex interactions that took place between the scientific community, government, and private industry in the course of its development. The Telescope is thus much more than a new astronomical instrument but instead must be seen as the product of a great range of forces: scientific, technical, political, social, institutional, and economic.Smith, Robert W. is the author of 'Space Telescope: A Study of NASA, Science, Technology and Politics - Robert W. Smith - Paperback' with ISBN 9780521457682 and ISBN 0521457688.
