Several other activities were accomplished as well over a 12-day mission with 5 spacewalks.Four astronauts trained for five scheduled spacewalks to upgrade and service the Hubble Space Telescope during the STS-109 mission in early 2002. Three veteran astronauts, John M.Grunsfeld, James H. Newman, and Richard M. Linnehan, were joined by Michael J. Massimino, who will be making his first space flight.Grunsfeld had flown three times, STS-67 in 1995, STS-81 in 1997, and STS-103 in 1999 when he performed two spacewalks to service the Hubble Space Telescope. Newman, veteran of three space flights, STS-51 in 1993, STS-69 in 1995, and STS-88 in 1998, had conducted four previous spacewalks. Linnehan had flown on STS-78 in 1996 and STS-90 in 1998. Massimino is a member of the 1996 astronaut class.Scott Altman, (Cmdr., USN), a two-time shuttle veteran, commanded the STS-109 mission. He was joined on the flight deck by pilot Duane Carey, (Lt. Col., USAF), making his first space flight, and flight engineer Nancy Currie (Lt. Col, USA, Ph.D.). Currie had three previous space flights to her credit. || ", "release_date": "2020-03-01T09:00:00-05:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:45:07.995338-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 386415, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a013500/a013566/SM3B_THUMB_MAIN.jpg", "filename": "SM3B_THUMB_MAIN.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "STS-109 Flight Day Highlights Day 1, March 01, 2002", "width": 1920, "height": 1080, "pixels": 2073600 } }, { "id": 13542, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13542/", "page_type": "Produced Video", "title": "Hubble Archive - Servicing Mission 2, STS-82", "description": "After a successful first mission to correct Hubble’s vision in 1993, a second Servicing Mission (STS-82) was launched to the space telescope in February 1997.

They ranged from a simple bag for carrying some of the smaller tools to sophisticated, battery-operated power tools.A seven-member crew took part in this mission.

Describe how they conclusively determined the nature of the problem. It affects one of their science objectives. Weiler: “We can still do important science.” UV capability and IR capability not impacted. Spatial resolution is about at ground-based resolution. Explains impacts to each of the instruments. HRS - will be able to do most of the science, just not in crowded fields, still excellent for planetary features, least impacted instrument FOS - UV science not impacted except on crowded fields, quasar absorption lines won’t be impacted because point sources, FOC - highest spatial resolution of the cameras, visible wavelengths will be ground-based resolution except maybe better for bright objects, HSP - won’t be able to do science with high signal to noise, but can do about half of proposed science esp in UV WFPC - probably no real science we can do with this because in visible Fine guidance sensors for astrometry - can do 100% of science we proposed, will be able to look at star’s wobble to find exoplanetsBiggest impact is loss of spatial resolution for WFPCInsurance policy - planned for maintenance program, are already building a second wide-field camera with a corrective mirror, think we can take out all the aberration and get back to original specification, 40% of science was going to be done with wide-field camera, developing NICMOS for near-IR capability that includes corrective opticsFor HRS and FOS, have STIS under development which would replace spectrographic capabilities Haven’t yet figured out how the problem occured; putting together a review boardDon’t know if the aberration is in the primary or secondary mirrorDidn’t test the two mirrors in combination because it would have been tremendously costly and difficult (hundreds of millions of dollars)Cuts off at endAudio missing from 11:10 - 11:20", "width": 720, "height": 484, "pixels": 348480 } }, { "id": 13084, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/13084/", "page_type": "Produced Video", "title": "Hubble Archive - Post-Servicing Mission 1", "description": "January 10, 1994 Footage || GSFC_19940110_HST_m001_thumbnail.jpg (1280x720) [222.7 KB] || GSFC_19940110_HST_m001.mov (1280x720) [25.9 GB] || GSFC_19940110_HST_m001.mp4 (1280x720) [2.0 GB] || GSFC_19940110_HST_m001.webm (1280x720) [199.5 MB] || GSFC_19940110_HST_m001.en_US.srt [38.2 KB] || GSFC_19940110_HST_m001.en_US.vtt [36.2 KB] || ", "release_date": "2018-10-04T11:00:00-04:00", "update_date": "2023-05-03T13:46:22.896730-04:00", "main_image": { "id": 399945, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/vis/a010000/a013000/a013084/SW.jpg", "filename": "SW.jpg", "media_type": "Image", "alt_text": "January 13, 1994 Footage (part 2 of 3)", "width": 320, "height": 180, "pixels": 57600 } } ], "sources": [], "products": [], "newer_versions": [], "older_versions": [], "alternate_versions": [] }
