Space Telescope European Coordinating Facility (ST-ECF) - "ST-ECF, jointly operated by ESA and The European Southern Observatory (ESO), is the European HST science facility, supporting the European astronomy community in exploiting the research opportunities provided by the Hubble Space Telescope."

Wide Field and Planetary Camera-2 (WFPC-2) - WFPC2 is one of five scientific instruments aboard the Hubble Space Telescope and contains corrective optics to refocus light coming from the telescope's primary mirror and restores performance of the telescope to original specifications. It was installed during the space shuttle mission to service the telescope in December 1993. [NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory]
