Closure of the ST-ECF
|
Following decisions made by both ESA and ESO during the last few years, the ST-ECF has closed and ceased operations
on 31 December 2010. Established as a joint venture between these two organisations in 1984, the ST-ECF has worked
in close collaboration with the STScI in Baltimore to support European users of Hubble and to provide significant
contributions to the operation of the observatory and its instruments.
The European HST Archive has been moved to ESA's
European Space Astronomy Centre (ESAC),
Spain, where most of ESA's Space Science Archives are located and operated from.
The new URL to the European HST archive is:
http://hst.esac.esa.int
Information resulting from the group's instrument science activities has been
transferred to STScI and is available from their website.
Re-links from the previous locations on
the ST-ECF web site to the corresponding location on the STScI site have been
established and should work for the remainder of the lifetime of the
ST-ECF web site.

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is a joint project between the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and
the European Space Agency (ESA). The Space Telescope European Coordinating Facility (ST-ECF), jointly operated by ESA and
the European Southern Observatory (ESO) was, until the end of 2010, the European HST science facility, supporting the
European astronomy community in exploiting the research opportunities provided by the Hubble Space Telescope.
