Hubble Space Telescope control room
Hubble Space Telescope mission control. Overview of the Mission Operations Room (MOR) for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) at NASAs Goddard Space Flight Center, Maryland. The MOR is used to monitor and control all activities relating to the orbiting telescope, including observations and pointing, general engineering and orbit control. The health of the HST is constantly monitored to ensure as much observing time as possible. Computers on the HST may even be reprogrammed from the MOR. During servicing by the Space Shuttle, the MOR is linked directly to Shuttle Mission control in Houston, Texas

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Hubble Space Telescope control room at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland is a hub of activity and innovation. In this photo print, we are given an exclusive glimpse into the Mission Operations Room (MOR), where dedicated scientists and engineers monitor and control all aspects of the orbiting telescope. With its state-of-the-art technology, the MOR serves as the nerve center for HST operations. From here, experts oversee crucial tasks such as observations, pointing accuracy, engineering checks, and even reprogramming computers aboard the telescope itself. The health of HST is constantly monitored to maximize its precious observing time. This image captures not only the cutting-edge equipment but also showcases the collaboration between different space agencies. During servicing missions by NASA's iconic Space Shuttle program, direct communication links are established between Houston's Shuttle Mission Control and this very control room. The atmosphere in this control room must be electric with anticipation as scientists unravel mysteries of our vast universe through HST's lens. It symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge beyond Earth's boundaries. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring photograph from Science Photo Library, it reminds us that behind every breathtaking celestial image captured by Hubble lies a team of brilliant minds working tirelessly to unlock secrets hidden among distant stars and galaxies.
