... The FGS is unique among HST's science instruments in that its data downlink is carried on the engineering data stream rather than the science data stream. ... While the contents of the downlink for the other science instruments depend upon the specifics of that instrument, the contents and rates of the FGS data are determined by the engineering telemetry format. The fundamental FGS data of interest for astrometry and guiding are: . ...
