NOVA | Hubble's Amazing Rescue | PBS
Loading...
Uploaded by PBS on Sep 18, 2009
http://www.pbs.org/nova/hubble After nearly 20 years in space and hundreds of thousands of spectacular images, the Hubble Space Telescope's gyroscopes and sensors were failing, its batteries running down, and some of its instruments were already dead. NOVA weaves together the compelling story of this dangerous 12-day mission and its five pressure-filled spacewalks. For two years leading up to launch, NOVA followed the mission closely, with unprecedented access to every aspect of the endeavor, from NASA's training facilities for flight preparation to the historic mission itself. Hubbles Amazing Rescue premieres Tuesday, October 13, 2009 at 8PM ET/PT on PBS (please check local listings). For more information, visit http://www.pbs.org/nova/hubble

-
I was so gung ho to see this i ordered the DVD on Amazon and requested 2 day delivery. That was 10 days ago. UPS lost my dvd...now Im waiting for a replacement from PBS...ARGH!

That was a great episode...one of the best to come from "Nova" in a long time.
-
So cool! I want to go to space.
-
I think unmanned robotics will be the next stage for space telescopes. Also future telescopes will be delivered through rockets not the space shuttle.
-
Where do you sing up ? :)
-
anmoose - thanks for the response. I didn't realize it cost billions and that capabilities were added. It just seems like additional space flights, fixing it, and paying all the people to make those additional flights possible would cost quite a lot too - but probably not billions! heh..

@ wirtlo, to reproduce Hubble would cost billions. The telescope is perfect, the optics are already there. The peripherals were outdated and dieing. Replacing them has given it capabilities never imagined when it first went up. It IS a new Hubble, done without reinventing it.
