ddardSpace Telescope Imaging
Spectrograph (STIS), the most
versatile spectrograph ever to
fly on Hubble, ceased
operations in August 2004 due
to the failure of its power
supply. In order to restore
STIS to operational status,
astronauts will perform a
never-before-attempted
on-orbit replacement of an
electronics board inside STISs
main electronics box. On Earth
this operation is relatively
simple, but in space many
challenges confront the
astronauts as they work to
replace the failed board
including working to remove
111 tiny, non-captive screws
with astronaut gloves.For more
