KSC-89pc-0947

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Hubble Space Telescope is lifted into the vertical position in the Vertical Processing Facility as work begins to process the 94-inch primary mirror telescope for launch on the Discovery on STS-31 in March 1990. With Hubble, astronomers will be able to view 97 percent of the known universe, and will be able to get pictures unlimited and undistorted by the Earth’s atmosphere. Compared with Earth-based observatories, Hubble will be able to view celestial objects that are 50 times fainter, provide images that are 10 times sharper, and see objects that are seven times further away.
