Hubble Space Telescope photographed by Electronic Still Camera

S61-E-008 (4 Dec 1993) --- This view of the Earth-orbiting Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was photographed with an Electronic Still Camera (ESC), and down linked to ground controllers soon afterward. This view was taken during rendezvous operations. Endeavour's crew captured the HST on December 4, 1993 in order to service the telescope. Over a period of five days, four of the crew members will work in alternating pairs outside Endeavour's shirt sleeve environment. Electronic still photography is a relatively new technology which provides the means for a handheld camera to electronically capture and digitize an image with resolution approaching film quality. The electronic still camera has flown as an experiment on several other shuttle missions.
