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

An animation of space shuttle Atlantis in orbit as it comes out of the Sun’s glare. The camera passes over the shuttle’s main engines to view Hubble in the cargo bay.   10211   Shuttle Atlantis with HST From Out of the Sun
A tour of Atlantis’s cargo bay as configured for Hubble Servicing Mission 4. The tour starts at the airlock, moves to the Super Lightweight Instrument Carrier, then to the Orbital Replacement Unit Carrier, the Flight Support System and finally to the Multi-Use Lightweight Equipment Carrier.   10210   Servicing Mission 4: Atlantis Cargo Bay Carrier Fly-Over
