NAME OF VEHICLE | NAME OF ORBITER | MISSION NUMBER | MISSION DESCRIPTION | LOCATION | CITY | STATE/COUNTRY |
SPACE SHUTTLE | SPACE SHUTTLE ENDEAVOUR | STS 68 | The primary payload on this flight is the Space Radar Laboratory (SRL-2), making its second flight to study the Earth’s environment. | CALIFORNIA SCIENCE CENTER | EXPOSITION PARK | CALIFORNIA |
SPACE SHUTTLE | SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY | STS 82 | It was NASA’s second mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope, during which Discovery’s crew repaired and upgraded the telescope’s scientific instruments, increasing its research capabilities. | STEVEN UDVAR HAZY | CHANTILLY | VIRGINIA |
SPACE SHUTTLE | SPACE SHUTTLE DISCOVERY | STS 103 | The primary objective of STS-103 was the Hubble Servicing Mission 3A. STS-103 had four scheduled Extravehicular Activity (EVA) days where four crew members worked in pairs on alternating days to renew and refurbish the telescope. NASA officials decided to move up part of the servicing mission that had been scheduled for June 2000 after three of the telescope’s six gyroscopes failed. Three gyroscopes must be working to meet the telescope’s very precise pointing requirements, and the telescope’s flight rules dictated that NASA consider a “call-up” mission before a fourth gyroscope failed. | STEVEN UDVAR HAZY | CHANTILLY | VIRGINIA |
SPACE SHUTTLE | SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS | STS 110 | The main purpose STS-110 was to attach the stainless steel S0 Truss segment to the International Space Station (ISS) to the Destiny Laboratory Module. It forms the backbone of the station to which the S1 and P1 truss segments were attached (on the following missions STS-112 and STS-113, respectively). | KENNEDY SPACE CENTER | MERRIT ISLAND | FLORIDA |
