For a few hours in early April 1991, things could not get any worse for NASA. A year earlier, the first of its flagship “Great Observatories”—the $1.5 billion Hubble Space Telescope (HST)—had been launched into orbit, but initial tests revealed its optics to have been improperly ground. In essence, the telescope was unable to resolve celestial objects with the kind of precision that NASA had advertised. A shuttle repair mission had long been on the cards, but the dismal failure caused considerable embarrassment for a space agency still recovering from the loss of Challenger.

5 avril 1991
Il y a 35 ans, décollait Atlantis pour la mission STS-37 avec 5 astronautes à bord.
Objectifs principaux : déploiement de GRO (Gamma Ray Observatory qui nécessitera une EVA improvisée) et une EVA test (EDFE)

Czy ktoś z załogi Artemis II pójdzie tym śladem ?

STS-37 launched on April 5, 1991, with ASE members Steven Nagel, Jerry Ross, Linda Godwin, Kenneth Cameron, and Jay Apt aboard.
Fun fact: This mission deployed the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (the second of four in @NASA's Great Observatories program)!
