Abstract
Flown in May 2009, the final Hubble service mission also became the last solo flight by a shuttle. All remaining missions were directed to the International Space Station to complete its assembly and to stock up the facility with supplies to supplement the delivery of smaller amounts of logistics by an international fleet of unmanned cargo craft.
Aerospace mechanism engineering success stories often, if not always,
consist of overcoming development, test and flight anomalies.
Many times it is these anomalies that stimulate technology
growth and more reliable future systems. However, one must
learn for these to achieve an ultimately successful mission.
These words were written in a paper given at the
37th Aerospace Mechanism Symposium at JSC in 2004.
