Faint Object Camera

The Faint Object Camera ( FOC) was a camera on board the Hubble Space Telescope. She served the observation of extremely faint objects in UV light 115-650 nanometers wavelength. The Faint Object Camera was the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope in April 1990 in operation. It was at a maintenance of the telescope in March 2002 by another camera, the Advanced Camera for Surveys, replaced and returned to use in outer space to Earth after 12 years.

The Faint Object Camera was on behalf of ESA (European Space Agency ) designed and built by the Dornier System GmbH in Friedrichshafen. She is now on display at the Dornier Museum in Friedrichshafen.
