Advanced Camera for SurveysHubble imaging instrumentActiveThe Advanced Camera for Surveys expanded Hubble's survey speed and imaging reach when astronauts installed it during STS-109.
Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object SpectrometerHubble infrared camera and spectrometerInactiveNICMOS gave Hubble three cryogenic near-infrared cameras capable of imaging, coronagraphy, polarimetry, and slitless spectroscopy.
Space Telescope Imaging SpectrographHubble imaging spectrographActiveThe Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph is Hubble's versatile ultraviolet-through-near-infrared spectrograph and imaging instrument.
Cosmic Origins SpectrographHubble ultraviolet spectrographActiveThe Cosmic Origins Spectrograph is Hubble's high-throughput ultraviolet spectrograph, optimized for faint point sources such as distant quasars and tenuous intergalactic gas.
NICMOS Cooling SystemCryogenic instrument cooling upgradeInactiveThe NICMOS Cooling System was a closed-loop mechanical cryocooler installed during STS-109 to revive Hubble's dormant infrared instrument after its solid-nitrogen cryogen was exhausted.
Wide Field Camera 3Hubble ultraviolet-visible-infrared cameraActiveWide Field Camera 3 is Hubble's panchromatic imaging instrument, spanning near-ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared wavelengths through two independently optimized channels.
Hubble Advanced ComputerRadiation-hardened spacecraft computer upgradeHubble's Advanced Computer replaced the original DF-224 flight computer during Servicing Mission 3A.
