The Space Tools That Fixed The Hubble
Nothing is easy in space.Imagine trying to use a caulking gun while wearing hockey gloves and bobbing in zero gravity.To repair or install modules in extreme conditions (temperatures ranging from 150 degrees below zero to 150 degrees Fahrenheit) NASA astronauts need special tools.
Short on time, the engineers turned to commercially available tools that could be modified for space.
“Whenever we can start with something like that, it makes our job easier,” said Russell L. Werneth, Goddard EVA manager for the Hubble Space Telescope and Shuttle Return to Flight.
