Mock Mission to Service the Hubble Space Telescope

  • 14 years ago
As part of Astronomy Day 2010 at the U.M.D. Planetarium, the 'astronauts' go out to service the mock Hubble Space Telescope. They will replicate repairs made on an actual Hubble service mission in 2008. Amongst those repairs is the forceable removal of a stuck door handle, the use of the screw capture plate, the exchange of the cards for the Avanced Camera for Surveys, the replacement of STIS, replacement of recording device and gyro.
