Servicing Mission 2 - Expanding Hubble’s Universe Feb. 11-21, 1997 Mission STS-82 Space shuttle Discovery Crew: Commander Kenneth Bowersox, Pilot Scott Horowitz, Mission Specialists Mark Lee, Steven Hawley, Gregory Harbaugh, Steven Smith and Joseph Tanner. During the 10-day mission, mission specialists installed two technologically advanced instruments on Hubble. The Near Infrared Camera and Multi- Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) can observe the universe in the infrared wavelengths. The second instrument, the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), is used to take detailed pictures of celestial objects and to hunt for black holes. Also installed on Hubble were a refurbished Fine Guidance Sensor, which is used to provide pointing information for the spacecraft to keep it on target and to calculate celestial distances. Hubble also received a new solid state recorder, which replaced an older data recorder
