Fortunately, Hubble, orbiting 353 miles (569 km) above the surface of the Earth, was the first telescope designed to be visited in space by astronauts to perform repairs, replace parts, and update its technology with new instruments. Servicing Mission 1, launched in December 1993, was the first opportunity to conduct planned maintenance on the telescope. In addition, new instruments were installed and the optics of the flaw in Hubble's primary mirror was corrected. || ", "release_date": "2018-10-04T11:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:46:22.684930-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 400044, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a013000/a013082/SM1_ARCHIVE.jpg", "filename": "SM1_ARCHIVE.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Pre-Servicing Mission 1 Resource ReelHubble Servicing Mission 1 was in December, 1993.00:01 - Neutral Buoyancy Simulator, Marshall Space Flight Center04:00 - Astronaut Training, Johnson Space Center04:06 - Astronaut Training, Precision Air Bearing Floor05:23 - Astronaut Training, Pogo Concept06:00 - Astronaut Training, Virtual Reality07:33 - Astronaut Training, Weightless Environment Training Facility09:24 - Mechanical Testing, Goddard Space Flight Center, COSTAR insertion12:29 - Goddard Space Flight Center, WF/PC II insertion15:51 - Goddard Space Flight Center, Astronaut Training with Tools16:31 - Extra Vehicular Activities Animation, Johnson Space Center16:36 - Johnson Space Center, WF/PC II changeout20:32 - Johnson Space Center, RSU changeout23:44 - Johnson Space Center, COSTAR changeout26:50 - Johnson Space Center, Solar Arrays changeout28:32 - Solar Array VNR, European Space Agency34:36 - COSTAR VNR, Ball Aerospace37:35 - COSTAR Animation, Space Telescope Science Institute38:14 - WF/PC II Animation, Space Telescope Science Institute39:04 - Testing and Verification VNR, NASA Headquarters", "width": 1920, "height": 1080, "pixels": 2073600 } }, { "id": 13083, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13083/", "page_type": "Produced Video", "title": "Hubble Archive - Post-Deployment", "description": "Digitized tape of the press conference from June 27, 1990 where Ed Weiler and others explain the Hubble Space Telescope's spherical aberration problem and its impact to the science instruments.
