IMAX explores the legacy of the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and its impact on our views about the universe. — Please subscribe to Science & Reason: • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com • www.youtube.com — The final space shuttle mission to repair and upgrade the Hubble Space Telescope is the subject of a new IMAX film. Narrated by Leonardo Di Caprio, “Hubble 3-D” was premiered during a special event held at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington. The movie features the NASA astronauts from STS-125 who serviced Hubble in May 2009; an IMAX 3D camera mounted in space shuttle Atlantis’ payload bay filmed their progress. • www.youtube.com — Vividly captured in IMAX 3D, “Hubble 3D” recounts the amazing journey of the most important scientific instrument since Galileos original telescope and the greatest success in space since the Moon Landing—the Hubble Space Telescope. Audiences will accompany the space walking astronauts as they attempt some of the most difficult tasks ever undertaken in nasa’s history, and will experience up close the awesome power of the launches, the heartbreaking setbacks, and the dramatic rescues of this most powerful story. Hubble 3D will also reveal the cosmos as never before, allowing viewers of all ages to explore the grandeur of the nebulae and galaxies, the birth and death of stars, and some of the greatest mysteries of our celestial surroundings, all in amazing IMAX 3D. • www.youtube.com — Director: Toni Myers Narrator: Leonardo …

US space agency NASA Monday is launching its final mission to repair and upgrade the Hubble Space Telescope, which has been orbiting the Earth for nearly two decades and provided scientists with a wealth of information about the universe. The US space shuttle Atlantis is carrying seven astronauts into space who will perform the complex operation on the orbiting telescope.

ALL GOOD THINGS nasa’s Space Shuttle, officially called the Space Transportation System (STS), is the spacecraft currently used by the United States government for its human spaceflight missions and is scheduled to be retired from service in 2010. At launch, it consists of a rust-colored external tank (ET), two white, slender Solid Rocket Boosters (srbs), and the orbiter, a winged spaceplane which is the space shuttle in the narrowest sense. The orbiter carries astronauts and payload such as satellites or space station parts into low earth orbit, into the Earth’s upper atmosphere or thermosphere.[1] Usually, five to seven crew members ride in the orbiter. The payload capacity is 22700 kilograms (50000 lb). When the orbiter’s mission is complete it fires its Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) thrusters to drop out of orbit and re-enters the lower atmosphere.[1] During the descent, the shuttle orbiter decelerates from hypersonic speed primarily by aerobraking and then for the landing phase it acts as a glider, making a completely unpowered (“deadstick”) landing. The Shuttle is the first orbital spacecraft designed for partial reusability. It carries payloads to low Earth orbit, provides crew rotation for the International Space Station (ISS), and performs servicing missions. The orbiter can also recover satellites and other payloads from orbit and return them to Earth. Each Shuttle was designed for a projected lifespan of 100 launches or 10 years’ operational life. The man …
