Another lecture in IHMC's award winning lecture series. http://www.ihmc.us In May 2009 a team of astronauts flew to the Hubble Space Telescope on space shuttle Atlantis. On their 13 day mission and over the course of 5 spacewalks they completed an extreme makeover of the orbiting observatory. They installed the Wide Field Camera- 3, the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, repaired the Advanced Camera for Surveys and the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph, as well as a number of maintenance activities. The Hubble Space Telescope story has been a fascinating study in public policy, engineering, ethics, and science. For the first time on orbit the Hubble has a full complement of instruments capable of performing state-of-the-art observations from the near infra-red to the ultraviolet end of the spectrum. The early results of the new and repaired instruments hint at a bright scientific future for Hubble and will be presented in the talk as well as a narrative of the adventures on orbit. Dr. John M. Grunsfeld was recently appointed Deputy Director of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI). A veteran of five space flights, including three missions to service the Hubble Space Telescope - STS-103 in Dec. 1999, STS-109 in March 2002, and STS-125 in May 2009 - Grunsfeld has logged over 835 hours in space, including nearly 60 hours of Extravehicular Activity during eight space walks. He served as the NASA Chief Scientist detailed to NASA Headquarters in 2003-2004, where he helped develop the President's Vision for Space Exploration. Dr. Grunsfeld received his B.S. degree in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his M.S. and Ph.D degrees in physics from the University of Chicago. He has held academic positions as visiting scientist at the University of Tokyo's Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, graduate research assistant at the University of Chicago, NASA Graduate Student Fellow at the University of Chicago, Grainger Postdoctoral Fellow in Experimental Physics at the University of Chicago, and senior research fellow at the California Institute of Technology. His research has covered X-ray and gamma-ray astronomy, high-energy cosmic ray studies, and development of new detectors and instrumentation. Dr. Grunsfeld has conducted observations of the far-ultraviolet spectra of faint astronomical objects and the polarization of ultraviolet light coming from stars and distant galaxies.
