Abstract
The Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS), currently in Earth or bit on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), operates in the wavelength ra nge 1150-3200 angstrom with spectral resolutions (lambda/deltalambda) of approximately 2 x 10(3), 2 X 10(4), and 1 X 10(5). The instrument a nd its development from inception, its current status, the approach to operations, representative results in the major areas of the scientif ic goals, and prospects for the future are described.
