Thought we should get a post up on the Hubble Servicing Mission. Helene and I are both very happy that they are going to keep Hubble going. Helene is of course thrilled because she is still working on Hubble day to day. I am very happy because I worked extensively on the two instruments that are being added with the servicing mission, the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph and the Wide Field Camera 3 and will probably work some overtime from JWST to help get ready for the mission. I was present at the press conference where the mission was announced and was sitting about 10 feet from the Administrator and was fortunate enough to shake hands with Senator Mikulski. Helene was up-close to the Senator at a party that followed at the STScI.
Expect some pictures soon of a cake we baked for Gina's birthday and pictures from Nik's wedding.
