HST Servicing Mission

S93-48826 (November 1993) — This artist’s rendition of the 1993 Hubble Space Telescope (HST) servicing mission shows astronauts installing the new Wide Field/Planetary Camera (WF/PC 2). The instruments to replace the original camera and contains corrective optics that compensate for the telescope’s flawed primary mirror. During the 11-plus day mission, astronauts are also scheduled to install the Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR) — an optics package that focuses and routes light to the other three instruments aboard the observatory — a new set of solar array panels, and other hardware and components. The artwork was done for JPL by Paul Hudson.
