Objective:<br />

To use a visual image to show how the STS-31<br />

astronauts positioned the HST in space.<br />

Positioning <strong>Hubble</strong><br />

<strong>Hubble</strong> Just Before<br />

Being Placed into <strong>Space</strong><br />

The <strong>Hubble</strong> <strong>Space</strong> <strong>Telescope</strong><br />

As it was Being Positioned in <strong>Space</strong><br />

This picture was taken on April 25, 1990 from<br />

an inside window of the <strong>Space</strong> Shuttle Discovery<br />

STS-31; it shows the Discovery orbiter as it is<br />

placing the <strong>Hubble</strong> <strong>Space</strong> <strong>Telescope</strong> into orbit. It took<br />

years of study and a lot of hard work for each<br />

astronaut to perform this task, but they had a great time<br />

doing it because science is fun!<br />
