SPACE.com : The Hubble Space Telescope appears to be working well after NASA put the 19-year-old observatory through a battery of tests after its final service mission by an astronaut repair crew.
Ed Weiler, NASA’s science missions chief, said to reporters at a press conference that Hubble is in the midst of meticulous systems and calibration checks following the successful upgrades and repairs by Atlantis shuttle astronauts .
“All of those have gone beautifully,” said Weiler. “Everything is going well, as far as I can tell.”
The calibrations and electronics tests should run their course by the end of summer, with a new and improved Hubble once more ready for science observations in late August, Weiler said.
