- Hubble Trouble: Repairing the Hubble Space Telescope
- Description
- The first images produced by the Hubble Space Telescope were fuzzy and unclear due to a problem with its optical system. While the media had a field day with this “Hubble Trouble,” NASA had an opportunity to prove that they could fix the telescope in orbit, a task that was uniquely incorporated into the Hubble’s design. Astronauts were able to repair the telescope, and soon after, the Hubble Space Telescope was producing stellar images.
