Hubble's Amazing Rescue (http://www.yourtv.com.au/program/hubbles-amazing-rescue/271320/)






9.30pm - 10.30pm
SBS ONE
Tonight




The best-known scientific instrument in history was dying. After nearly 20 years in space and hundreds of thousands of spectacular images, the Hubble Space Telescope's gyroscopes and sensors were failing, its batteries running down, and some of its instruments were already dead. The only hope to save Hubble involved a particularly risky mission. This program takes viewers behind the scenes on a riveting journey with the team of astronauts and engineers charged with saving the famous telescope against all odds.

Watching it right now, great stuff and a reminder of what "we" can achieve scientifically if the will is there.

I really enjoyed that:thumbsup:. A few observations are I loved the idea of the fastener retainer plate very clever idea and even in space it is always the last screw or bolt that causes the problem:P
