Yes, they are.

In recognition of the HST's 15th birthday in space on April 25, 2005, 
QCWA Vic Clark Chapter 91 has had the Hubble Telescope as the focus of 
our attention:

March 26, 2005: Dan Schultz, N8FGV, who is a flight controller for the 
space telescope, did a show-and-tell on the Hubble Space Telescope 
(HST) at our monthly meeting at Neighbor's Restaurant, Vienna, VA, and

April 16, 2005: Wayne Kinzel, KR4N, who is an astronomer and a planner 
for the telescope to follow the Hubble into space, the James Webb Space 
Telescope, was the host of our visit to the Space Telescope Science 
Institute in Baltimore.  This is where both Dan and Wayne are employed.

Stories and photos on both events can be found here:

We're still talking about the implications of its results on our Sunday 
morning net on the 146.79 repeater, which is located in the City of 
Fairfax, VA.
