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.
