The following components will be installed or upgraded: Super Lightweight Interchangeable Carrier (SLIC) containing the Wide Field Camera 3 and the two battery modules for the telescope, the Orbital Replacement Unit Carrier (ORUC) with refurbished Fine Guidance Sensor, three Rate Sensor Units and gyroscopes, and the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph.
This is expected to be the last mission to Hubble.
What else can I help you with?
When was the final servicing mission scheduled for the Hubble telescope?
The servicing mission was first planned on October 14, 2008. However due failure of Science Instrument Command and Data Handling Unit the NASA postponed the Servicing Mission 4(SM4, the last servicing mission), until May 2009
Was the Hubble Space Telescope been repaired?
Yes, the Hubble Space Telescope has been repaired several times since its launch in 1990. The last servicing mission was in 2009.
When was the hubble telescope?
The HST has not been landed. It has undergone a total of 5 service missions (no. 3 split in 2 parts, so the official count speaks of Servicing Mission 4 as the last one in May 2009) in space (performed by astronauts approaching in space shuttles).

When was the final servicing of the hubble space telescope?
HST Servicing Mission 4 was carried out in 2009 aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis, during shuttle mission STS-125. Atlantis and Discovery were the most often used shuttles for HST servicing missions, due in large part to their larger cargo bays compared to the other shuttles.
When was the hubble telescope launched into space?
The Hubble Space Telescope was flown into space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery, mission STS-31, on April 24, 1990. On the subsequent servicing mission, in December, 1993, flaws in the original optics were corrected.
How often are hubble servicing missions scheduled?
The HST was carried aboard the Space Shuttle and placed in orbit in April of 1990. Four Shuttle missions visited it between 1993 and 2002 for service, upgrade, and maintenance. A planned fifth mission was cancelled in the aftermath of the Columbia disaster. However, after much public discussion, NASA administrator Mike Griffin approved one final servicing mission. It was completed in 2009, and there won't be any more. The Hubble telescope is now expected to function until at least 2014, and possibly 2020. Its scientific successor, the James Webb Space Telescope, is scheduled to be launched in 2018.
Who repaired the Hubble Telescope?
The Hubble Space Telescope was repaired and serviced by astronauts during a series of Space Shuttle missions. Notably, five servicing missions took place between 1993 and 2009, with astronauts conducting repairs, upgrades, and maintenance tasks. NASA's crews, including notable astronauts like John Grunsfeld and Story Musgrave, played key roles in these missions, ensuring the telescope's continued functionality and longevity.
Why did the Hubble stop working in 2004?
It didn't - HST's fourth Servicing Mission (3B) in 2002 restored and replaced key systems/experiments as is normal for an HST SM. Servicing Mission 4 in 2009 replaced older instruments and upgraded others to extend its service life for another 5 years or longer.
What space vehicles were used in hubble telescope mission'?
Space Shuttles Discovery and Atlantis were most often used for HST Servicing Missions, due to their larger cargo bays.
How did the hubble space get into space?
The Hubble telescope traveled to space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990, on mission STS-31. There were four subsequent shuttle servicing missions, the last by STS-125 on May 13-19, 2009.
How many servicing missions has the hubble space telescope had?
There have been 5 servicing missions, numbered 1, 2, 3A, 3B, and 4.
