Title House Call: Discovery on Its Way to Hubble
Description The Space Shuttle Discovery takes off on a mission to upgrade and repair Hubble in 1999. Once it gets close enough to Hubble, the shuttle uses its robotic arm to tow the telescope into its cargo bay for astronauts to work on. Astronauts routinely visit Hubble to perform maintenance work and install new instruments, thanks to the telescope?s unique construction with replaceable parts.

Title Astronauts Training to Repair Hubble
Description Astronauts Steven Smith and John Grunsfeld train in a Goddard Space Flight Center clean room on a backup of an electrical section of Hubble in 1999. The electrical section holds transmitters, batteries, recorders and electronics that operate various parts of Hubble. The astronauts wear ?bunny suits,? special coveralls, hoods, gloves, boots and masks that protect the sensitive equipment from particles that could interfere with its performance.

General Information What is a Space Science Update? Major Hubble discoveries on NASA television ... Astronomers explain their Hubble discoveries at a press conference, called a Space Science Update (SSU), broadcast on NASA television. The SSU includes a question and answer session with members of the media. The Hubble telescope is uncovering important new clues to a galaxy's birth and growth by peering into its heart ? a bulge of millions of stars resembling a bulbous center yolk in the middle of a disk of egg white. Astronomers have combined information from the Hubble telescope's visible- and infrared-light cameras to show the heart of four spiral galaxies peppered with ancient populations of stars. The top row of pictures, taken by a ground-based telescope, represents complete views of each galaxy. The blue boxes outline the regions observed by the Hubble telescope. The bottom row represents composite pictures from Hubble's visible- and infrared-light cameras. Astronomers combined views from both cameras to obtain the true ages of the stars surrounding each galaxy's bulge. The Hubble telescope's sharper resolution allows astronomers to study the intricate structure of a galaxy's central region.

Title Hubble Docked with Discovery
Description The Hubble Space Telescope rests in the Space Shuttle Discovery?s cargo bay during the third repair mission in December 1999. Hubble must attach to the shuttle for astronauts to perform repairs. Discovery is the shuttle that originally carried Hubble into orbit in 1990. The telescope stretches five stories tall, and the tubular part of its body is 14 feet (4.2 m) across. Its school bus-size bulk completely filled Discovery?s cargo bay during the trip from Earth to space.

Title Hubble Heritage Project's First Anniversary
General Information What is Hubble Heritage? A monthly showcase of new and archival Hubble images. Go to the Heritage site. To mark the first anniversary of the Hubble Heritage Project, we present four Hubble telescope images of nebulae surrounding stars in our own Milky Way Galaxy. Two of these visible-light pictures show interstellar gas and dust around young stars at the beginning of their lives, and two more show gas ejected from old stars that are nearing the end of theirs. Remarkably, in spite of the completely different evolutionary stages, the nebulae have more striking features in common, including evidence of diametrically opposed gas ejections from both the young and old stars.

Title Hubble Control Center, Goddard Space Flight Center
Description As Hubble?s third repair mission unwinds, ground controllers send commands and instructions to the telescope while monitoring data from the observatory to check that it continues to function correctly. When this picture was taken, in 1999, command and control operations for Hubble were run from the Space Telescope Operations Center at NASA?s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md. Today command and control is run mainly from the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md.
