Hubble Space Telescope
Movie   ID   Title
<b>Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph </b>(STIS), the most versatile spectrograph ever to fly on Hubble, ceased operations in August 2004 due to the failure of its power supply. In order to restore STIS to operational status, astronauts will perform a never-before-attempted on-orbit replacement of an electronics board inside STIS’s main electronics box. On Earth this operation is relatively simple, but in space many challenges confront the astronauts as they work to replace the failed board including working to remove 111 tiny, non-captive screws with astronaut gloves. <p> <b>The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph </b> (COS) that will be added during Servicing Mission 4, and STIS are highly complementary and are very complimentary to each other providing scientists with a full set of spectroscopic tools for astrophysical research. The STIS instrument’s accomplishments include determining the atmospheric composition of an exoplanet as well as spectra and images at ultraviolet and visible wavelengths of the Universe from our solar system out to cosmological distances. </p><p><p><p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='script_725_01.html'>here</a>.   10350   STIS Repair: The Quest for Renewed Exploration
Hubble Space Telescope Servicing Mission 4 is the last time humans will visit Hubble. NASA’s scientists, engineers and astronauts are working together to make Hubble better than it has been before. See what NASA has planned for this last mission to Hubble; from new science instruments, to two challenging and never-done-before instrument repairs, and numerous upgrades.<p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='script_719_01.html'>here</a>.   10346   The Last Mission to Hubble

<b>The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph</b>, a fourth-generation instrument, designed by Dr. James Green and his University of Colorado colleagues for the cosmic web study in the 90's, will replace the Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR.)<p><p>Once installed on the Hubble Space Telescope during the upcoming servicing mission this year, COS will dramatically advance physics and astrophysics research on the origin of the Universe, astronomical objects, evolution of galaxies, and planetary system formations. In addition, the spectroscope will significantly enhance the spectroscopic capabilities of the telescope at ultraviolet wavelengths, provide scientists with unparalleled opportunities for observing faint sources of ultraviolet and cosmic web light that will absorb new cosmic information and help the telescope investigate the collected data until the end of its mission, currently 2013.</p><p><p><p>For complete transcript, click <a href='script_420_00.html'>here</a>.   10270   Cosmic Origins Spectrograph - Exploring Physics Across the Universe
When placed on the Hubble Space Telescope, WFC3 will provide unprecedented capabilities for imaging the cosmos at near-ultraviolet and at near-infrared wavelengths. The Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) will study a diverse range of objects and phenomena, from early and distant galaxy formation to nearby planetary nebulae, and finally our own backyard — the planets and other bodies of our Solar System. WFC3 extends Hubble's capability not only by seeing deeper into the universe but also by seeing simultaneously into the infrared and ultraviolet. WFC3 can, for example, simultaneously observe young, hot stars (glowing predominantly in the ultraviolet) and older, cooler stars (glowing predominantly in the infrared) in the same galaxy.   10266   Wide Field Camera 3: Extending Hubble's Vision, Packed with Power

In planning for Servicing Mission 4 to Hubble, crew members divide their time between NASA’s Johnson Space Center, Houston, working underwater on a Hubble mock-up to simulate the effects of weightlessness, and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland, where they practice scheduled mission tasks on a Hubble mock-up inside a large clean room facility. Many Goddard engineers are trained divers. These engineers work along side the astronauts while in the Neutral Buoyancy Lab to aid in their training. This underwater experience helps HST engineers understand what the astronauts need as they work together to refine tools and procedures to service Hubble. <p>For complete transcript, click <a href='script_410_00.html'>here</a>.   10242   Goddard Space Flight Center Divers
The Hubble would not be able to do what it does without the help of a small group of dedicated engineers and technicians at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
