Enhancing Hubble's Vision Service Missions That Expanded Our View of the Universe
As this project unfolded, it became clear that the amount of information researched and
volunteered by the various contacts would be suffi cient to generate more than one book. I
have long believed there is always a greater story behind each space mission, but it takes a
little investigation and contacts to reveal that bigger picture. This project on Hubble and its
capability to be serviced on-orbit began for me in the 1970s, when I started to gather information
on the potential of EVA from the space shuttle. I collected and fi led additional
details over the next two decades, and after the deployment of the telescope and the series
of servicing missions.
