Spanish translation:STScI (Space Telescope Science Institute)
Explanation:
I think there is a typo: it should be STScI, not STSd. It's the acronym for the Space Telescope Science Institute, the science operations center for the Hubble Space Telescope, operated for the NASA by the AURA (Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy).

I'd leave the acronym as it is and if you think it's necessary, add an explanation.
