论文摘要
最初的要求至少要进行5 - 10年的时间，哈勃太空望远镜（HST）持续了30年。它依靠五项维修任务来维修和更换基本组件。自10年前的最终航天飞机任务以来，它已经避免了其运行的重大破裂，因此衰老中的唯一严重影响是陀螺仪的性能逐渐恶化和仪器探测器的敏感性。许多因素对于使HST成为科学地标很重要。 HST - - - 最重要的是发现宇宙加速的最重要发现。当HST行动停止在太空中的未来观察时，应通过NASA，ESA以及中国和日本太空机构计划的主要任务成功地确保未来的观察。
With an initial requirement to make observations a minimum of 5-10 years, Hubble Space Telescope (HST) has continued to operate well for 30 years. It has relied upon five servicing missions to repair and replace essential components. Since the final Space Shuttle mission 10 years ago it has avoided major breaks in its operation, with the only serious effects of ageing in space being a progressive deterioration in the performance of the gyroscopes and sensitivity of the instrument detectors. A number of factors were important in making HST a scientific landmark. Ground-breaking discoveries have been made with HST----the most important being the discovery of cosmic acceleration. When HST operation ceases future observations in space should be assured with successful operation of major missions now planned by NASA, ESA, and the China and Japanese Space Agencies.
