Credit: On Monday the Hubble space telescope was roaring at the regions of central Florida. Its orbit was set 350 miles high which had the ability of streaking at 5 miles through space. But it has been assumed that the Atlantis will take the total time of two days to reach to the destined observatory in order to make the desired repairs. Atlantis wheeled fast with an angle towards the eastern region at the Atlantic Ocean. A long trail of smoke was left behind it when it was rocketed through cloudy skies. The launching of this telescope was perfect and it set a nice picture to capture. There were many commanders present at the control board. Spacewalkers like John Grunsfeld, Michael Massimino, Andrew Feustel and Michael Good were also present with these commanders.
This Hubble mission is just like a flight at the post-Columbia manifest of NASA and it doesn’t have any connection with international space station. It should also be noted that the Hubble and space station are in different orbits. Therefore if any problem or difficult situation arises then the Altman and his fellow mates cannot seek for safe aboard. In addition to all this the risk concerning catastrophic impact with the space debris increases because of the high altitude of Hubble. It has been assumed that the Endeavour will get ready for the engineers in the next four days. After this they could start their count down of three days and stand with the Atlantis mission.
