(70 kb of html) Explore an interactive 3D model of Hubble. Rotate the model and rollover parts of it to read infromation about the activities of the SM3B Mission.

Created by Marty McCoy and Matt Ford
(196 kb) View an interactive panorama of one of Hubble's axial bays (reproduction in cleanroom). You'll see science instruments (long box-like) and above them star-tracker optics (cone-shaped). Click and drag mouse to move.

Created by Chris Gunn and Pat Izzo
(290 kb) View an interactive panorama of one of Hubble's radial bays (reproduction in cleanroom). You'll see some of the surrounding cleanroom and the housing that holds one of the three Field Guidance Sensors (center of image). Click and drag mouse to move.

(466 kb) View an interactive panorama of one of Hubble's upper bays 1-10 (reproduction in cleanroom). For SM3B, the astronauts will be installing the Power Control Unit (PCU) and the Reaction Wheel Assembly (RWA) in these bays. Click and drag mouse to move.

Created by Chris Gunn and Pat Izzo
(368 kb) A great summary of alterations to Hubble that will be taking place during SM3B.

Animation by Goddard/NASA TV
(129 kb) A conceptual animation showing Hubble orienting on a spiral galaxy.

Animation by Goddard/NASA TV
(137 kb) Animation portraying Hubble's new Solar Arrays (SA3). The arrays are rigid and fold-out rather than roll-out like the old ones.

Animation by Goddard/NASA TV
(1.6 mb) See how the latching system of the radial bays function, and how thermal blanketing was applied to the telescope during the last servicing mission.

Animation by Chris Meaney and Angela Cheyynski
