For a couple years I had intended to create a puzzle containing a triple stack of 15-letter entries, in the manner of my favorite themeless constructor, Martin Ashwood-Smith. When the phrase "put a face to a name" came to mind, with its construction-aiding consonant-vowel alternation, I decided to build a puzzle around it. I started shortly after Christmas 2019 and finished up the puzzle on New Year's Eve (then, months later, spent another day on revision, after Will asked that a weak five-letter entry be replaced at 25-Across — oops).

What surprised me the most while researching clues was discovering how many space telescopes have been launched. I had only heard of the Hubble, but a quick check on Wikipedia revealed a list of dozens.
