The planned repair of STIS (STIS-R) is only possible through the efforts of a number of dedicated individuals and organizations, including:

• Ball Aerospace - Over the history of Hubble, Ball Aerospace has built a total of seven instruments, including:
  • Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph(GHRS), one of the original science instruments launched in the Hubble Space Telescope and removed in 1997
    
  • Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR), the supplemental optics installed into Hubble Space Telescope in 1993 that successfully corrected the spherical aberration of Hubble's primary mirror
    
  • Near-infrared Camera and Multi-object Spectrometer (NICMOS), one of two axial replacements installed in 1997
    
  • Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), the second of two axial replacements installed in 1997
    
  • Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) was installed during the March 2002 servicing mission
  • Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) will replace the obsolete COSTAR, and
  • the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3), the last two slated for installation in October 2008.
• ATK
• Jackson & Tull (J&T) - Developers of NASA's Vehicle Electrical System Test (VEST) Facility at Goddard Space Flight Center
• Stinger Ghaffarian Technologies (SGT)
• Lockheed Martin (LM)
• Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC)

For STIS-R, Ball and ATK worked design; J&T led manufacture, integration and testing; SGT and LM provided system engineering; Goddard provided management and HST systems support.
