The Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) was a spectrograph installed on the Hubble Space Telescope. In 1997 it was replaced by the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph. ...more on Wikipedia about "Faint Object Spectrograph"
The High Speed Photometer (HSP) was a scientific instrument installed on the Hubble Space Telescope. The HSP was designed to measure the brightness and polarity of rapidly varying celestial objects. It could observe in ultraviolet, visible light, and near infrared at a rate of one measurement per 10 microseconds (10e-5 seconds). The design was novel in that despite being able to view through a variety of filters and apertures, it had no moving parts. ...more on Wikipedia about "High Speed Photometer"
