1 00:00:05,030 --> 00:00:02,550 [Music] 2 00:00:06,630 --> 00:00:05,040 and we have liftoff after the first 3 00:00:08,029 --> 00:00:06,640 servicing mission to the hubble space 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:08,039 telescope 5 00:00:10,549 --> 00:00:08,730 [Applause] 6 00:00:12,950 --> 00:00:10,559 [Music] 7 00:00:18,550 --> 00:00:12,960 hubble amazed us with its ability to see 8 00:00:22,550 --> 00:00:20,310 but hubble can also see things that our 9 00:00:23,990 --> 00:00:22,560 eyes don't naturally see even if we were 10 00:00:25,670 --> 00:00:24,000 up close 11 00:00:27,509 --> 00:00:25,680 we would actually see something that 12 00:00:29,589 --> 00:00:27,519 looks more like this 13 00:00:31,589 --> 00:00:29,599 but how can we see this then when our 14 00:00:34,229 --> 00:00:31,599 eyes would actually see something that 15 00:00:36,549 --> 00:00:34,239 mostly resembles that 16 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:36,559 and the answer to that question lies 17 00:00:39,310 --> 00:00:38,770 within servicing mission two 18 00:00:40,549 --> 00:00:39,320 [Applause] 19 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:40,559 [Music] 20 00:00:53,270 --> 00:00:44,570 liftoff discovery now on its way 21 00:00:54,549 --> 00:00:53,280 [Music] 22 00:00:56,150 --> 00:00:54,559 when hubble was first launched into 23 00:01:01,029 --> 00:00:56,160 orbit much of the technology that 24 00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:03,590 that's what makes hubble so unique 25 00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:05,680 over its lifetime hubble was able to be 26 00:01:09,910 --> 00:01:08,080 serviced five times 27 00:01:12,070 --> 00:01:09,920 allowing us to fix parts that may have 28 00:01:13,910 --> 00:01:12,080 been worn out and add new instruments 29 00:01:19,350 --> 00:01:13,920 that have been specifically crafted to 30 00:01:24,469 --> 00:01:22,789 now up until servicing mission 2 in 1997 31 00:01:26,390 --> 00:01:24,479 the hubble space telescope could only 32 00:01:28,950 --> 00:01:26,400 capture light within the visible to 33 00:01:30,710 --> 00:01:28,960 ultraviolet spectrum 34 00:01:33,109 --> 00:01:30,720 and even though our eyes can only see 35 00:01:38,069 --> 00:01:33,119 within the visible range nasa was after 36 00:01:41,830 --> 00:01:39,670 by widening the range of light that 37 00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:41,840 hubble is able to capture astronomers 38 00:01:48,310 --> 00:01:43,439 could see into distinctly different 39 00:01:52,630 --> 00:01:50,069 this is because a picture is worth a 40 00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:52,640 thousand words but the light that formed 41 00:01:57,910 --> 00:01:55,680 that picture also has a story to tell 42 00:02:00,789 --> 00:01:57,920 and here's where spectroscopy comes into 43 00:02:02,469 --> 00:02:00,799 the narrative of that story 44 00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:02,479 spectroscopy is a technique that 45 00:02:07,350 --> 00:02:04,320 scientists use to separate light into 46 00:02:08,949 --> 00:02:07,360 its component colors or wavelengths 47 00:02:11,190 --> 00:02:08,959 and by separating light into its 48 00:02:15,190 --> 00:02:11,200 components we are able to unpack greater 49 00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:17,350 so nasa constructed the necessary 50 00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:19,440 mechanisms needed to capture a wider 51 00:02:22,869 --> 00:02:21,120 range of light 52 00:02:24,550 --> 00:02:22,879 they spent years coming over every 53 00:02:26,229 --> 00:02:24,560 detail of these new instruments and 54 00:02:27,910 --> 00:02:26,239 trained a team of astronauts the 55 00:02:29,590 --> 00:02:27,920 techniques needed to install them 56 00:02:30,869 --> 00:02:29,600 properly into hubble 57 00:02:32,949 --> 00:02:30,879 [Music] 58 00:02:36,470 --> 00:02:32,959 the purpose of today is for the 59 00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:36,480 crew of the second servicing mission for 60 00:02:42,869 --> 00:02:40,319 hubble to get familiar with installing 61 00:02:44,869 --> 00:02:42,879 a science instrument into the telescope 62 00:02:47,110 --> 00:02:44,879 after the proper preparation of the new 63 00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:47,120 instruments all the components of 64 00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:48,879 servicing mission 2 were ready for 65 00:03:00,149 --> 00:02:57,910 ignition and liftoff discovery now on 66 00:03:01,830 --> 00:03:00,159 its way to service nasa's hubble space 67 00:03:03,830 --> 00:03:01,840 telescope 68 00:03:06,229 --> 00:03:03,840 aboard discovery the is now in a heads 69 00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:06,239 down position on course for a 28.5 70 00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:20,630 good morning discovery it's today to go 71 00:03:28,149 --> 00:03:26,949 hey good morning chris we're ready to do 72 00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:28,159 that 73 00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:29,920 during this mission the team of seven 74 00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:32,159 astronauts installed the space telescope 75 00:03:37,910 --> 00:03:35,920 imaging spectrograph or stis to hubble 76 00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:37,920 allowing us to separate ultraviolet and 77 00:03:42,229 --> 00:03:40,400 visible light into its components giving 78 00:03:43,750 --> 00:03:42,239 scientists critical diagnostic 79 00:03:46,869 --> 00:03:43,760 information about an object's 80 00:03:49,990 --> 00:03:46,879 composition temperature motion and other 81 00:03:52,070 --> 00:03:50,000 physical and chemical properties 82 00:03:54,630 --> 00:03:52,080 also as this hubble was able to capture 83 00:03:56,550 --> 00:03:54,640 in a single exposure a spectral region 84 00:03:58,949 --> 00:03:56,560 30 times wider than previous 85 00:04:00,630 --> 00:03:58,959 spectrographs 86 00:04:02,949 --> 00:04:00,640 now questions surrounding the study of 87 00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:02,959 massive black holes stellar flares the 88 00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:04,560 evolution of the universe and 89 00:04:08,869 --> 00:04:06,480 distribution of matter could now be 90 00:04:11,830 --> 00:04:08,879 studied in fuller view 91 00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:11,840 but nasa did not stop there 92 00:04:16,469 --> 00:04:13,840 they also installed the near-infrared 93 00:04:18,789 --> 00:04:16,479 camera and multi-object spectrometer or 94 00:04:21,909 --> 00:04:18,799 nikmas which allowed hubble to see into 95 00:04:24,469 --> 00:04:21,919 the universe by infrared light 96 00:04:26,950 --> 00:04:24,479 we can now tackle questions like how do 97 00:04:28,710 --> 00:04:26,960 stars form how many stars have planetary 98 00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:28,720 systems or 99 00:04:33,749 --> 00:04:31,840 how do galaxies form and evolve 100 00:04:35,670 --> 00:04:33,759 additionally the astronauts of servicing 101 00:04:38,150 --> 00:04:35,680 mission 2 refurbished defined guidance 102 00:04:39,830 --> 00:04:38,160 sensor and gyroscopes all of which help 103 00:04:41,830 --> 00:04:39,840 point the telescope they repaired 104 00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:41,840 failing thermal blankets which regulate 105 00:04:46,310 --> 00:04:44,160 hubble's temperature added a better data 106 00:04:48,870 --> 00:04:46,320 recorder and data interface unit which 107 00:04:50,710 --> 00:04:48,880 all help manage hubble's data intake and 108 00:04:59,430 --> 00:04:50,720 replace the electronics that drive 109 00:05:03,909 --> 00:05:01,510 now more than ever we were able to see 110 00:05:06,310 --> 00:05:03,919 into the universe in a rainbow of colors 111 00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:06,320 that were only a dream in the early 112 00:05:14,950 --> 00:05:13,029 servicing mission 2 went down in the 113 00:05:17,029 --> 00:05:14,960 history books by making the hubble space 114 00:05:26,150 --> 00:05:17,039 telescope more scientifically powerful 115 00:05:29,110 --> 00:05:27,590 proof that you all have done a great job 116 00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:29,120 so many thanks to all the people in all 117 00:05:32,790 --> 00:05:30,800 the other ground locations supporting 118 00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:32,800 this mission before we understand the 119 00:05:37,590 --> 00:05:34,320 sacrifices you made to make sure this
