This is part of the Endeavour Class with BlendedSchools and VLINC.

2.  We have looked at what the Hubble
Space Telescope is.
 Discovered Hubble’s accomplishments.
 Found out how it works.
 Read over the mission, vision, goals, and
objectives.

3.  We are going to look at a major flaw in
the spacecraft.
 How the flaw was created and what it
does to the spacecraft.
 How engineers and scientists were able
to overcome this problem prior to the
permanent fix.
 What the permanent fix was and how it
works.

4.  Do you really think you need expensive
equipment to figure out a problem?
 When Hubble was put on orbit they had a
problem getting the high gain antenna to
extend into place and lock.
 Using some string, tape, a rubber band, and a
tongue depressor they theorized that a cable
had moved into the joint of the antenna and
keeping the antenna from locking.
 They simply retracted the arm all the way and
extended it again and this time it locked.
 True story.
