HST Planned and Archived Observations

Metadata Updated: September 19, 2025

This is the HST Planned and Archived Exposures Catalog (PAEC) as obtained from the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) Archive which created the original compilation from their Archive and Proposal databases. This database table provides a summary of all approved HST observations, including already completed observations and those which are planned to be executed as part of the current cycle or are reserved for execution by Guaranteed Time Observer (GTO) programs for the upcoming cycles. This database table provides a summary of both planned and completed HST observations. Much more information can be obtained about each exposure, and the data themselves can be retrieved, using STScI's Multimission Archive (URL is <a href="http://archive.stsci.edu/hst/">http://archive.stsci.edu/hst/</a>;) or STScI's Archive Web Interface (URL is <a href="http://archive.stsci.edu/hst/search.php">http://archive.stsci.edu/hst/search.php</a>;). Note that a number of solar system and other objects have 0 values for their 2000 equinox RA and declination coordinates in the original HST table and hence also in this HEASARC database. This HEASARC version of the HSTPAEC will be updated on a regular basis, usually within one month of the data files on the STScI Web site (URL <a href="http://archive.stsci.edu/hst/paec.html">http://archive.stsci.edu/hst/paec.html</a>;) being updated. This database table is recreated by the HEASARC on a routine basis, usually within one month of the PAEC data files at the STScI Hubble Data Archive (HDA) being modified. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .
