Summary: <p><strong>Heroes of Space.</strong> <strong>Part III</strong></p> <p>In 1990, astronaut Steven Hawley deployed the Hubble telescope in space as part of the crew of the space shuttle Discovery. Kansas-born Hawley was among the civilians selected to be part of the space program on the basis of his expertise in a specific area: astronomy. One of his subsequent trips into space involved completing maintenance on HST. More recently, he has used it at ground level during his research work. In this episode, I talk to Professor Hawley about Hubble, his time as an astronaut, and the impact of HST.</p> <p>Featuring: Professor Steven Hawley</p> <p>Music: <a href="https://pixabay.com/music/" target="_blank">Pixabay</a></p> <p>Sound and pictures: public domain from NASA</p> --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/daniel-mainwaring5/message
