TAPE CONTENTS:
ITEM (1): Hubble Space Telescope Service Mission 4 Animation - A collection of several animations showing the Hubble Space Telescope orbiting Earth and in space shuttle Atlantis cargo bay. All animations depict the Hubble Space Telescope in its current (July 2008) configuration. *Courtesy: NASA*
ITEM (2): HST SM4 Carrier Location and Hardware Stowage in the Space Shuttle Atlantis Cargo Bay - A tour of the STS-125 Servicing Mission 4 carrier configuration in the cargo bay of Space Shuttle Atlantis. *Courtesy: NASA*
ITEM (3): HST SM4 Change-out animation - Animation shows the change out of instruments and hardware planned during the Hubble Servicing Mission 4. The instrument change out order in the animation order is as follows: 1 - Battery replacement 2 - Wide Field Planetary Camera replaced with new Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) 3 - Rate Sensor Units replaced (contain 2 gyros each) 4 - COSTAR instrument replaced with new Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) 5 - Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) repair (circuit boards replaced and new power box added) 6 - Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph repair (cover removed, circuit board replaced, new main electronics box cover added) 7 - Fine Guidance Sensor replaced 8 - Soft Capture Mechanism added *Courtesy: NASA*
ITEM (4): HST SM4: SLIC Carrier Animation - WFC3 is a new camera sensitive across a wide range of wavelengths (colors), from the ultraviolet through visible/optical light and into the near infrared. It will study a diverse range of object and phenomena, from young and extremely distant galaxies, to more nearby stellar systems, to objects in our very own solar system. WFC3 will probe farther back in time than any prior Hubble camera and will trace the history of star formation and galaxy evolution. *Courtesy: NASA / Pete Alea*
ITEM (5): HST SM4: ORUC Carrier animation - Orbital Replacement Unit Carrier (ORUC), will hold the new COS science instrument, new Fine Guidance Sensor, STIS and ACS repair tools and hardware, the new Rate Sensor Units (gyros), the IMAX camera and other crew aides and tools to be used during Hubble Space Telescope Servicing Mission 4. *Courtesy: NASA*
ITEM (6): HST SM4: MULE Carrier animation - Multi-Use Logistic Equipment (MULE) carrier, which will hold SM4 contingency hardware. *Courtesy: NASA/Pete Alea*
ITEM (7): Wide Field Camera 3 Science Animation (with labels & without labels) - WFC3 is a new camera sensitive across a wide range of wavelengths (colors), from the ultraviolet through visible/optical light and into the near infrared. It will study a diverse range of object and phenomena, from young and extremely distant galaxies, to more nearby stellar systems, to objects in our very own solar system. WFC3 will probe farther back in time than any prior Hubble camera and will trace the history of star formation and galaxy evolution. *Courtesy: NASA/STScI/Greg Bacon*
ITEM (8): Wide Field Camera 3 Science Animation: Redshift - Most astrophysical objects are not very bright in infrared. Stars and galaxies are too hot to emit much radiation here, but planets and other cool objects do. The near-infrared region is particularly interesting for cosmologists and astrophysicists studying some of the most distant and oldest objects in the universe, however. Although most objects radiate brightly at much lower wavelengths, extreme redshifting can move the lines from ultraviolet into the near-infrared. *Courtesy: NASA/STScI/Greg Bacon*
ITEM (9): Cosmic Origins Spectrograph science animation: "The Cosmic Web" - The COS is the most sensitive ultraviolet spectrograph ever flown on Hubble. The instrument will probe the cosmic web, the large-scale structure of the universe whose form is determined by the gravity of dark matter and is traced by the spatial distribution of galaxies and intergalactic gas. *Courtesy: NASA/STScI/Greg Bacon*
ITEM (10): NASA Administrator's HST Mission Announcement - NASA Administrator Dr. Michael Griffin announces the official approval for the Hubble Space Telescope Servicing Mission 4 (SM4) on October 31, 2006. Concerns for crew safety following the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster fueled an earlier decision to cancel this fourth and final servicing mission. This decision to go forward with Service Mission 4 is based on the success of shuttle flights, STS-114, STS-115 and STS-121, as well as engineering and safety risk analysis. *Courtesy: NASA*

ITEM (13): HST Battery B-roll - Battery activities at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Maryland. *Courtesy: NASA*
ITEM (14): Super Lightweight Interchangeable Carrier (SLIC) activities at Goddard - This new carrier made of composite materials weighs about 2 tons. It's light wieght allows the shuttle to carry more paylaod for the SM4 mission. The stress test done at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center determines if the carrier can support the stresses of launch, re-entry and landing. *Courtesy: NASA*
ITEM (15): SM4 Crew training at NASA GSFC B-roll - Engineers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center provide training for the STS-125 astronaut crew as they prepare for Hubble Servicing Mission 4. *Courtesy: NASA*

In January 2007, ACS experienced an electrical short that put two of its three cameras out of commission. ACS contains a trio of cameras: the wide field camera, the high-resolution camera, and the solar blind camera. Each performed a specific function. *Courtesy: NASA*
ITEM (17): SM4 Neutral Buoyancy Lab: Preparation and General B-roll - B-roll of Goddard Space Flight Center engineers working with astronauts at NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Lab at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. These runs help engineers develop and refine the crew aides and tools to be used during Servicing Mission 4. *Courtesy: NASA*
ITEM (18): SM4 Neutral Buoyancy Lab: STIS Repair B-roll - An attempt will be made to repair the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, which was installed in 1997 and stopped working in 2004. The instrument is used for high-resolution studies in visible and ultraviolet light of both nearby star systems and distant galaxies, providing information about the motions and chemical makeup of stars, planetary atmospheres, and other galaxies. *Courtesy: NASA*
