Hubble History 101

Hubble mission seems to wind down as we may be remiss if we have this incredible piece of technology will not be reflected on. The idea of ​​a space-based telescopes were the first scientists thought the back of the mid 1920's, but then it was just an "idea" probably better left to HG Wells about anything, but forty years later The idea to write in a few roots when NASA will be launching a space-based observatory will begin to conduct the feasibility study. NASA's space shuttle project on the horizon with more flexibility in both design standards and such a telescope at the 1971 George acting NASA Administrator gave the deployment and on to further study the feasibility of such a telescope had to go. The next step was to gain federal funding Hubble data to make the initial $ 400 million to the top of the other countries join the project somewhat difficult and in 1975 the House Appropriations subcommittee denied funding trying to lure proved due to the number was estimated at over $ but NASA astronomer Lyman Spitzer and John as a major Bahcall, Spitzer's an ally and a proponent of the project with the lobbyists would not be deterred. Also the European Space Research Organization (ESRO) came on board to provide funds for the telescope and the solar panels will power to design. Project cost was very low when it 2 to 3 meters to reduce the size of the primary mirror was decided. 4 change the design around $ 200 million to reduce the cost of the project. Congress on offer were sold and money was in 1977.

Perkin-Elmer Corporation in 1978 working on the project mirrors and optical components and Lockheed built the spacecraft and its sub-systems began with work. To start scheduled for 1983, but the optical system and later the final assembly process of assembling a long delay created a 2-year delay. At the end of 1985 all the pieces come together in December 1986, NASA launched scheduled for October. All obstacles to the design was approved and funded to Hubble, the astronomer Edwin Powell Hubble between 1923-1924 years of the Mount Wilson Observatory in California named Hooker telescope using was time to get to know the world is not static but rather constantly extend the discovery changed the world of physics and cosmology is counterproductive and lead Hubble Law "states that the distant galaxy's recession (red shift) speed is proportional to their distance from the "supervisor. With everything seemed like a launch to the Hubble "Go" Kennedy Space Center in January of 1986 down on the cold morning about making space exploration history, but was then (KSC) Space Shuttle Challenger disaster (51L ST) will strike rather than be a dark chapter in NASA's history will be written. I really do not think that that day I have not already been written except to say that this group of seven did not die that morning and Challenger should pads that have never left anything in writing about can. The below freezing temperatures before the launch of a shuttle mission was not yet enough data to decide internal parts from station to initiate and proceed with the final price was made on the effect of temperature on the types were available was paid. We 51L-Mission STS down slowly disappear into the sea watched in disbelief as the final moments. Space shuttle program until 1988 to hold and take an additional two years will delay the mission was put on HST. Fast forward to 1990.
