... Astronomers and technicians strained to get a good view of the monitor that would soon show them the first picture taken with the newly "fixed" Hubble Space Telescope (HST). ... Tension gave way to cheers and exuberant shouts as the image of a star appeared on the monitor, a star without any of the smeared light astronomers had come to expect from the telescope's flawed main mirror. ... Scientists had already begun work on improved versions of its scientific instruments before HST was even launched....

... We have investigated the status of the EPIC thin and medium filters by performing an analysis of the optical loading in the PN offset maps to gauge variations in the optical and UV transmission of the filters. We both investigated repeated observations of single optically bright targets and performed a statistical analysis of the extent of loading versus visual magnitude at different epochs. ... DATA ANALYSIS The PN offset maps are uploaded on board at the start of each exposure. ...
