The Chandra X-Ray Observatory
 The Chandra X-Ray Observatory is the
third in NASA's family of Great Observatories that includes the
Hubble Space Telescope and the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. NASA's
Marshall Space Flight Center manages the Chandra program. TRW (now NGST) was the
prime contractor for the spacecraft. Key subcontractors include Ball
Aerospace & Technologies, Inc., Eastman Kodak Company, and
Raytheon Optical Systems, Inc. The scientific instruments were built
by teams from MIT, Pennsylvania State University, the Smithsonian
Astrophysical Observatory, the Laboratory for Space Research in the
Netherlands, and the Max Planck Institute in Germany. The
Smithsonian's Chandra X-ray Center controls science and flight
operations from Cambridge, MA.
