Hubble Servicing Mission 4 (SM4) Resources

Astronaut servicing HubbleNASA has announced that Space Shuttle astronauts will visit and service the observatory in 2008. The mission is currently scheduled for the fall. Not only will this restore the observatory's infrastructure (batteries, gyroscopes, etc.), allowing science to continue through the decade, it will provide completely new science capabilities in the form the the Wide Field Camera 3 and the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph. You can learn more about SM4 at this NASA web site.

SM4 BRIEFINGS

In May and June, 2007 we will conduct telecon briefings for informal educators interested in learning more about the upcoming Hubble Servicing Mission and its science promise. Learn more here.

VIEWSPACE/SKYWATCH CONTENT

Our internet-fed, self-updating exhibits now feature regular updates on progress toward SM4. Coverage of the servicing mission will intensify in 2008.

Coming Soon...

We'll be posting media resources and information about additional opportunities to involve your audience in the refurbishment and upgrading of NASA's most scientifically productive mission ever.
