The incredible engineering challenge to understand the problem, develop a strategy to fix ACS that astronauts could perform, create the tools and new circuit board components in an incredibly short time, could not have been accomplished if the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) hadn't failed a few years ealier. Goddard Engineers leveraged techniques they developed for STIS repair to fix ACS.

Two failed instruments, the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) and the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS), were brought back to life by the first ever on-orbit repairs. With these efforts, Hubble has been brought to the apex of its scientific capabilities. To prolong Hubble's life, new batteries, new gyroscopes, a new science computer, a refurbished fine guidance sensor and new insulation on three electronics bays were also installed over the 12-day mission with five spacewalks. || ", "release_date": "2019-04-03T00:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:46:02.466636-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 396797, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a013100/a013160/SM4_THUMB_copy.jpg", "filename": "SM4_THUMB_copy.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "Servicing Mission 4", "width": 320, "height": 180, "pixels": 57600 } } ], "sources": [], "products": [], "newer_versions": [], "older_versions": [], "alternate_versions": [] }
