Parameters in bold are required.

Parameter Description
name Telescope's (pincipal) name.
image Picture of the telescope (use full wikicode).
caption Picture caption (if necessary).
alt_names Telescope's alternative names.
nssdc_id Telescope's NSSDC ID.
organization Organization responsible for telescope. This parameter needs to be used for the "General information" heading to appear.
major_contractors
launch_date Date when telescope launched.
launch_location
launch_vehicle Launch vehicle used for telescope.
mission_length expected duration and/or elapsed time using {{Age in years, months and days}} (e.g. (25 വർഷങ്ങൾ, 3 മാസങ്ങൾ 22 ദിവസങ്ങൾ elapsed).
deorbit_date (if known)
mass Telescope's mass.
length Telescope's length.
orbit_type Telescope's orbit type, including any significant parameters apart from those listed below (e.g. eccentricity)
height Telescope's orbit height.
period Telescope's orbit period.
velocity Telescope's orbit velocity.
accel_gravity Telescope's acceleration due to gravity.
location Telescope's location (e.g. L2).
style Telescope's style (type).
wavelength Wavelengths on which the telescope operates.
diameter Telescope's diameter.
area Telescope's collecting area.
focal_length Telescope's focal length.
instrument_1_name Name of first instrument on telescope.
instrument_1_characteristics First instrument's characteristics.
instrument_2_name Name of second instrument on telescope.
instrument_2_characteristics Second instrument's characteristics.
...
instrument_12_name Name of twelfth instrument on telescope.
instrument_12_characteristics Twelfth instrument's characteristics.
website The URL of the website for the telescope
as_of Date or time-frame at which template's statistics (e.g. launch/deorbit date, orbital parameters, etc) were known to be valid. In the face of multiple dates, omitting this field in favor of the "stats_ref" field may be advisable.
stats_ref Allows statistics to be referenced. Use standard <ref>...</ref> formatting.
