“This artist’s drawing shows the open end of NASA’s Space Telescope, a multi-purpose optical telescope planned for launch into Earth orbit in 1983 aboard the Space Shuttle. The 10-ton unmanned telescope will enable scientists to see deep into space--seven times farther than is now possible, perhaps even to the outer edge of the universe. NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Ala., has overall management responsibility for the Space Telescope project.”
