Orbiting Repairmen
Title Orbiting Repairmen
Explanation In December of 1993 astronauts Story Musgrave [ http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/musgrave.html ] and Jeffrey Hoffman [ http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/hoffman.html ] performed the orbiting repairmans' ballet 400 miles above the Earth. They are seen in this photo perched at the end of the Space Shuttle Endeavour [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap950807.html ]'s robotic arm making final repairs to the four story tall Hubble Space Telescope [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap950810.html ]. The coast line of western Australia is visible below. The complex and highly successful repair mission [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap951116.html ] allowed HST to see into the Universe with unprecedented clarity.
