| ||||| Tuesday, February 12, 2002 - 03:12 pm What was the telescope's real purpose? What caused it to be broken? What are the upgrades for it? Why is NASA cool? | |
| ||||| Wednesday, February 13, 2002 - 12:04 pm Purpose: To explore the universe and all its phenomena. To find out more about its origins. Broken: There was a spherical aberration in Hubble's primary mirror. An error that was a tiny fraction of a percent, but enough to disrupt Hubble's precise science. Upgrades: There have been several. Better science instruments, replacement parts... Go to: timeline Cool: Along with trying to make a better life for man through technology, NASA works to makes man's dreams reality . | |

| ||||| Monday, February 18, 2002 - 08:09 am Hi Julie, Hubble is not pointed towards earth so it cannot take images of your property. There are other satellites that do take images of earth. Check These NASA web sites for images. | |
| ||||| Monday, February 18, 2002 - 08:41 pm If Hubble were pointed at the moon (I realize that it never will be due to the high luminence) could it see any man made objects? | |
| ||||| Tuesday, February 19, 2002 - 02:32 am I was wondering what kind of thrusters are used to control the orientation, the pitch and the axis,of the telescope in order to point the telescope to desired area of the univese for the observation.If it is chemical propulsion or Pulsed Plasma Thruster is it possible to use one of those so called Spacedrives (eg:Gyrostat Propulsion System) listed in the World Spacedrives Archives. | |
| ||||| Tuesday, February 19, 2002 - 08:50 am Hubble does not use thrusters for detailed information on Hubble's pointing system check out The Hubble Project Site | |

| ||||| Friday, February 22, 2002 - 04:14 pm I work in a planetarium that runs souly off of slides, and we have a show about the hubble telescope that is already outdated (1999) and will become more outdated after this launch I am hoping to put together a brief slide show after the planetarum show which would bring it back up to date. Were could I get slides from | |

| ||||| Friday, February 22, 2002 - 09:59 pm What is the limiting factor affecting Hubble's lifetime? ie. the servicing missions upgrade a lot but what is it that will cause the end of Hubble's useful life? | |
| ||||| Saturday, February 23, 2002 - 08:52 am Check Preston Burch's video clips (Hubble Program Manager) for info on this topic. | |
| ||||| Saturday, February 23, 2002 - 07:23 pm I've been reading up on the history of the servicing missons in order to be able to follow the timeline better of what improvements and repairs have been made. Is there an archive of media guides or press kits from the SM1 and SM2 missions somewhere that can be viewed or downloaded? | |
| ||||| Sunday, February 24, 2002 - 07:53 am You can download the media guide and fact sheets for SM3A the following urls: http://sm3a.gsfc.nasa.gov/media_guide.html http://sm3a.gsfc.nasa.gov/hst_fact_sheet.html I know SM1 is not available in electronic format and I will have to check on SM2. | |
| ||||| Sunday, February 24, 2002 - 10:05 pm Feb.24.02 Dear Mr.Preston Burch, Hi, I would like very much if you could send me a Press kit for the Hsm/109 also if you have any stickers or decals for this mission too update the hubble space telescope would you please send me a few I have been collecting them for as long as the space-shuttle program began. thank you very much, I wish you and all your colleagues the best of luck on this mission and the ones to come. god bless.
