Contamination control program for the Hubble Space Telescope second servicing mission

Abstract

The integrity and outgassing certification of reflown hardware, maintained between servicing missions while accommodating configuration changes to the hardware, are discussed. The Hubble Space Telescope requires a periodically servicing mission to maintain its scientific capabilities. Servicing carriers are reflown for each servicing mission. The mission contamination control program is unique as it must maintain the current operational capability of the telescope while allowing manned servicing.
