Q&A: Chandra Mission

Q:
Who were the prime contractors for Chandra? Was AS&E a participant when it went online?

A:
Refer to http://chandra.harvard.edu/about/axaf_mission4.html for the organizations with major involvement in the Chandra project. AS&E was no longer a participant in Chandra when it was launched, but the people who worked there in the 60s, 70s and 80s certainly played a major role in laying the foundation for Chandra.
