Abstract
Unlike on many previous NASA space science missions, anyone can apply for observing time on the Hubble Space Telescope. The selection process for observing time on the Hubble is similar to the time management and scheduling processes used for most Earthbound research telescopes, both optical and radio. The application process is open to worldwide competition without restrictions on nationality or academic affiliation.
