AAAS Resolution:
Regarding the Hubble Space Telescope Servicing Mission 4
Whereas, the AAAS Council believes that the Hubble Space Telescope is an international treasure that has inspired the people of America and the world for nearly fifteen years;
Whereas, the Hubble Space Telescope has had substantial scientific impact; and
Whereas, the American Astronomical Society has indicated that only if the Hubble Space Telescope operates at full capability through 2009 will we have the opportunity to examine astronomical sources across the electromagnetic spectrum in x-ray, ultraviolet, visible and infrared regions;
Therefore, be it resolved that the AAAS Council urges that priority consideration be given to reinstating the Servicing Mission #4.
[Approved by the AAAS Council on February 15, 2004.]
