Hubble's Cosmic Journey
This is your view of the universe... In April1990, Space Shuttle Discovery carried out the launch of Hubble. Its launch into orbit more than 500 kilometers above the Earth marked the beginning of one of humanity's greatest aspirations: to deploy a telescope in space, far above the obscuring effects of the atmosphere, in order to obtain the clearest possible picture of the cosmos. In the months that followed, however, it became evident that the dream had become a nightmare, when a fault was discovered in Hubble's mirror. Following three years of suffering and enormous human resolve, a rescue mission to correct the fault was launched. We now have our most comprehensive vision of the cosmos ever. This is the narrative of the men and women who planned, constructed, maintained, and operated Hubble— the most renowned scientific equipment.
