As has been well publicized, the primary mirror of the Hubble Space Telescope was manufactured with an incorrect curvature which results in an aberrated output image. Ball Aerospace, under contract to GSFC, is designing the Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR) to provide correcting optics for the existing axial science instruments in the telescope. Integral to COSTAR are the arm deploy mechanisms which position and hold the corrective optic mirrors.
