Description:
|
Not Yet Imagined documents the history of HST from its launch through its first 30 years of operation in space. It focuses on the interactions among the general public, astronomers, engineers, government officials, and members of Congress during that time. The decision-making behind the changes in Hubbles instrument packages on servicing missions that made HST a model of supranational cooperation amongst scientists is chronicled, along with HSTs contributions to our knowledge about our solar system, our galaxy, and our universe. This book also covers the impact of HST and the images it produces on the publics appreciation for the universe, and how HST has changed the ways astronomy is done.
