High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Robert A. Woodruff (September, 1943 present) is an American physicist who is known principally for having designed and worked on a wide variety of instruments for space telescopes. These include Skylab (1967 1970), Apollo-Soyuz (1970s), Galileo(~1980), SIRTF and MIPS (1970s-1990s), and Hubble Space Telescope instruments [1977 present] (GHRS, STIS, COSTAR, ACS, COS, WFC3); JWST (1995 2000), Kepler (mid-1990s), TPF (2001 to present), and Destiny (2003 present).

He has had one or more instruments flying continuously in space since the early 1970s. The Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR) was the instrument designed to correct Hubble Space Telescope's spherical aberration for light focused at the FOC, FOS and GHRS instruments. Built by Ball Aerospace Corp., it replaced the High Speed Photometer (HSP) during the first Hubble Servicing Mission in 1993. Later instruments, installed after HST's initial deployment, were designed with their own corrective optics. COSTAR was removed from HST in 2009 during the fifth servicing mission and replaced by the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph.
