Also wird eine neue Hubbel Fähre gebaut oder wie?
Colin Norman, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore
This mission seeks to combine instruments built for the fifth Hubble servicing mission: Cosmic Origins Spectrograph and Wide Field Camera 3. This new space telescope at the forefront of modern astronomy will have a unifying focus on the period when the great majority of star and planet formation, heavy element production, black-hole growth and galaxy assembly took place.

Apparently, the cancellation of so many observing programs following the ACS failure had opened up empty spots in the HST schedule -- STScI wanted to know if we could use another 20 or so Hubble orbits to support the New Horizons Jupiter flyby. Hubble time is precious and hard-won -- it's not every day someone offers you 20 orbits without you even having to write a proposal. You bet we could use the time!
