The Ends of the Universe: Hubble's Final Chapter

 

Hubble In Action

 
Hubble revolutionized our science of the cosmos. It has become a global superstar and a household name. But after years without maintenance the telescope is desperate for help. Now, a massive final mission is underway to repair it for the very last time.

What's in the works?
The 11-day mission includes replacing Hubble's primary camera and installing a new array of instruments designed to help NASA researchers gather data never before available. And if installation of the new equipment is successful, the ability of Hubble to enhance our understanding of the universe will be expanded dramatically.

Following the launch, we'll also feature updates of the five space walks planned, as members of the astronaut team install new equipment and inspect the telescope for its final mission.
