Repairing Hubble
| Title |
Repairing Hubble |
| Explanation |
The first Hubble Space Telescope [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap950810.html ] (HST) servicing mission, STS-61, was one of the most complicated shuttle missions [ http://www.ksc.nasa.gov/shuttle/technology/ sts-newsref/stsref-toc.html ] ever planned. Launched on December 2, 1993 in the Space Shuttle Endeavor [ http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap950807.html ], the astronauts were required to make 5 space walks to repair the HST. Astronaut F. Story Musgrave [ http://www.jsc.nasa.gov/Bios/htmlbios/musgrave.html ], holding one of the handrails on the HST, is seen here during what became the second longest space walk in NASA history [ http://www.ksc.nasa.gov/history/history.html ] at just under 8 hours. The highly successful mission demonstrated the ability of shuttle astronauts to repair satellites in orbit and allowed the HST to continue to explore the Universe [ http://stsci.edu/pubinfo/PR.html ]. A future HST servicing mission is planned for 1997. |

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. |

STS-61 crewmembers in the WETF rehearsing for HST repair mission |
| Description |
Wearing a training version of Space Shuttle Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU), Astronaut Kathryn C. Thornton uses the giant pool of JSC's Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF) to rehearse for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) repair mission. Standing on a mobile foot restraint connected to the Shuttle's robot arm, Thornton grasps a large structure which attaches to the Wide Field/Planetary Camera (WF/PC). A SCUBA-equipped diver can be seen in the background (33101), Astronaut Thomas D. Akers uses the giant pool of JSC's WETF to rehearse for the HST repair mission. Standing on a mobile foot restraint connected to the Shuttle's robot arm, Akers works with a full-scale training version of the WF/PC. Several SCUBA-equipped divers assist in the rehearsal (33102), Astronauts F. Story Musgrave and Jeffrey A. Hoffman, in training versions of the EMU, use the WETF to rehearse for the HST repair mission. The two are working with a full-scale training version of the Wide Field/Planetary |

| Description |
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. - At the KSC Visitor Complex, former astronaut James A. Lovell (standing left) greets former astronaut Story Musgrave (standing right) at his induction ceremony into the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame. Also seated on the dais are, from left, former astronaut and Senator John H. Glenn, astronaut and Associate Director (Technical) of the Johnson Space Center John W. Young, and former astronaut Buzz Aldrin, all previously inducted into the Hall of Fame. Being inducted with Musgrave are Space Shuttle astronauts Daniel Brandenstein, Robert "Hoot" Gibson, and Sally Ride. Conceived by six of the Mercury Program astronauts, the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame opened in 1990 to provide a place where space travelers could be remembered for their participation and accomplishments in the U.S. space program. The four new inductees join 48 previously honored astronauts from the ranks of the Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, Apollo-Soyuz, and Space Shuttle programs. |
