 | | Originally, the HST was equipped with five detectors: the Wide-Field Planetary Camera, the Faint Object Camera, the Faint Object Spectrograph, the High-Resolution Spectrograph, and the High Speed Photometer. |
 | | A corrective optical device, called the Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR), was inserted in the slot for the High Speed Photometer, which had to be removed to make room for COSTAR. |
 | | The Wide-Field Planetary Camera, which had a different optical path from the other four instruments, was replaced with a second camera, which has a built-in correction for the aberration in the primary mirror. |
