Скачать или смотреть STS-82 Launch: 2nd Hubble Space Telescope Servicing Mission

This video presents the launch of the STS-82 mission aboard Space Shuttle Discovery, which lifted off from Launch Pad 39A on Tuesday, February 11, 1997. Aboard Discovery were Commander Ken Bowersox, Pilot Scott Horowitz, and Mission Specialists Joseph Tanner, Steve Hawley, Greg Harbaugh, Mark Lee, and Steven Smith.

The crew spent 10 days in space for the second servicing mission of the Hubble Space Telescope, which was launched 7 years prior on April 24, 1990 aboard STS-31. During this mission, two instruments were installed in the HST: the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) and the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS). Also, there were old hardware in Hubble that were upgraded: a new Fine Guidance Sensor, a Solid State Recorder (SSR), and a new reaction wheel for one of Hubble's four Reaction Wheel Assemblies (RWA).

The commentators for this launch were Lisa Malone of the Launch Control Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida and Kyle Herring of the Mission Control Center in Houston, Texas.
