The topic of Gainor's talk was Hubble Space Telescope’s Contributions to Servicing Spacecraft On Orbit. For anyone interested in on-orbit spacecraft servicing, Gainor's research which will soon be published as a NASA Special Publication book and should be essential reading. The Hubble Space Telescope wasn’t designed to be serviced, and yet when critical problems arose, new techniques and plans were conceived which led to multiple servicing missions. The hard lessons learned in the servicing of Hubble shouldn’t be forgotten.Listen in.
