Hubble Servicing Mission 1

Eyeglasses for the Hubble Space Telescope

Open mission

On 2 December 1993 the shuttle Endeavour lifted off on STS-61, carrying seven astronauts to repair the Hubble Space Telescope, whose main mirror had been ground to the wrong shape. Over five spacewalks the crew fitted corrective optics, a new camera, new solar arrays and new gyroscopes, and the telescope began to deliver sharp images.
