Hubble Space Telescope and the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. NASA's
Marshall Space Flight Center manages the Chandra program. TRW (now NGST) was the
prime contractor for the spacecraft. Key subcontractors include Ball

Raytheon Optical Systems, Inc. The scientific instruments were built
by teams from MIT, Pennsylvania State University, the Smithsonian
Astrophysical Observatory, the Laboratory for Space Research in the
Netherlands, and the Max Planck Institute in Germany. The
