A cutaway diagram of the Hubble Space Telescope, with components labeled. The forward shell houses the telescope's optical assembly. In the middle of the telescope are the reaction wheels and the bays that house the observatory's control electronics. The aft shroud houses the scientific instruments, gyroscopes, and star trackers. The instruments are located in containers that make them easy to remove and replace.
