ITEM (9): STS-125 Rendezvous and Capture of HST Animation *Courtesy: NASA/Bob Sauls*
ITEM (10): Cosmic Origins Spectrograph Installation EVA Animation - Astronauts will remove the COSTAR Instrument currently inside Hubble, temporally place COSTAR on the aft fixture, remove the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) instrument from the science instrument protective enclosure on the Orbital Replacement Unit Carrier and install it in Hubble where the COSTAR instrument had been. The astronauts will then (not animated) place the COSTAR instrument into the science instrument protective enclosure where COS had been. *Courtesy: NASA/Bob Sauls*
ITEM (11): Wide Field Camera 3 Installation EVA Animation - Astronauts will remove Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 currently in Hubble, temporally place WFPC2 on the aft fixture, remove the Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) from the science instrument protective enclosure on the Super Lightweight Instrument Carrier (SLIC) and install it in Hubble where WFPC2 had been. The astronauts will then (not animated) place WFPC2 into the science instrument protective enclosure where WFC3 had been. *Courtesy: NASA/Bob Sauls*
ITEM (12): ACS Repair EVA Animation - Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) was responsible for many of Hubble's most impressive images of deep space. In January 2007, ACS experienced an electrical short that put two of its three cameras out of commission. This animation shows the removal and replacement of 4 circuit boards as well as the installation of a new power control unit, by an astronaut. *Courtesy: NASA/Bob Sauls*
ITEM (13): STIS Repair EVA Animation - An attempt will be made to repair the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, which was installed in 1997 and stopped working in 2004. This animation shows highlights of the process astronauts will use to replace a circuit board inside the STIS instrument. The process includes removing a handrail, using the Fastener Capture Plate (FCP) to remove 110 small screws, removing the troubled circuit board and replacing a new one, and finally installing a new Main Electronics Box (MEB) cover. *Courtesy: NASA/Bob Sauls*
ITEM (14): HST Battery Replacement EVA Animation - Hubble's batteries, which have been operating since Hubble was launched in 1990, will be replaced. *Courtesy: NASA/Bob Sauls*
ITEM (15): Rate Sensor Units (RSUs) Replacement EVA Animation - Each Rate Sensor Unit (RSU) houses two gyroscopes. Astronauts will replace all three Rate Sensor Units on Hubble with new ones, thus complimenting Hubble with 6 brand new gyroscopes. The following animation highlights aspects of process. *Courtesy: NASA*
ITEM (16): Fine Guidance Sensor (FGS) Replacement EVA Animation - Animation showing the replacement of the Fine Guidance Sensor. The FGS obtains images for target acquisition, acquires pre-selected guide stars and itÕs measurements are used to enable stable pointing of the Hubble Space Telescope at the milli-arcsecond level. *Courtesy: NASA/Bob Sauls*
ITEM (17): New Outer Blanket Layers (NOBL) Installation EVA Animation - Animation showing an astronaut removing a damaged Multi-Layer Insulation blanket and replacing it with a New Outer Blanket Layer (NOBL). *Courtesy: NASA/Bob Sauls*
ITEM (18): Closing HST Doors for Last Time Animation - Animated view from inside Hubble as astronauts close the aft shroud doors. Astronaut gives 'thumbs up' sign. *Courtesy: NASA/STScI*
ITEM (19): Astronaut's Glove Touches Hubble - Animated shot showing astronaut's glove reaching out and touching Hubble, see astronauts' reflections in Hubble. *Courtesy: NASA*
ITEM (20): HST Deploy from Atlantis Animation - Animation shows the Hubble Space Telescope release from the Flight Support System (FSS). The soft capture mechanism (SCM) is seen attached to the aft end of Hubble. It provides a grapple fixture for a future mission needed to dispose of Hubble safely in the Pacific Ocean. The shuttleÕs Remote Manipulator System (RMS) releases the Hubble Space Telescope. *Courtesy: NASA/STScI*
ITEM (21): 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 (22): 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 (23): 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 (24): Cosmic Origins Spectrograph Science Animation: Spectroscopy - Spectroscopy is science of measuring the emission and absorption of different wavelengths (spectra) of visible and non-visible light. The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS), Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) and the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) instruments provide scientists with key information about the physics behind many of Hubble's images. *Courtesy: NASA/Michael McClare*
ITEM (25): TOP HUBBLE SCIENCE STORIES: Dark Energy - Hubble played a key role in discovering that a mysterious form of energy called dark energy is acting like a cosmic gas pedal, accelerating the universeÕs expansion rate. *Courtesy: NASA/ESA/STScI*
ITEM (26): TOP HUBBLE SCIENCE STORIES: Hubble's Ultra Deep Field - This is Hubble's most recent foray into the farthest regions of the universe. Combining visible, ultraviolet, and near infrared light, the Hubble Space Telescope has uncovered 10,000 galaxies, some of which existed 400 to 800 million years after the Big Bang. No Audio *Courtesy: NASA/ESA/STScI*
ITEM (27): TOP HUBBLE SCIENCE STORIES: Monster Black Holes Are Everywhere - Hubble has observed that black holes are everywhere, and they also have an intimate relationship with their host galaxies. Hubble observations reveal a tight relationship exists between the masses of the central black holes and those of the galactic bulges of old stars, gas, and dust that surround them.No Audio *Courtesy: NASA/ESA*
ITEM (28): TOP HUBBLE SCIENCE STORIES: Gamma Ray Burst Source - Gamma ray bursts are extremely powerful, short bursts of light and radiation that may represent the most powerful explosions in the universe since the Big Bang. As part of an unprecedented coordination of observatories, Hubble watched the afterglow of the July 9th, 2005 gamma ray burst, helping astronomers solve the 35-year-old mystery of the cause of the bursts and that they signal the birth of a black hole. No Audio *Courtesy: NASA/ESA/Michael McClare*
ITEM (29): TOP HUBBLE SCIENCE STORIES: Image Montage - A montage of Hubble images captured throughout its 18-year history. *Courtesy: NASA/ESA/Michael McClare*
