The video provides an in-depth look at the Space Telescope Operations Control Center (STOCC) and its role in managing the Hubble Space Telescope. It covers the day-to-day operations, the differences between regular operations and servicing missions, and the specific tasks involved in preparing for the STS 125 mission. The video also highlights the roles of the planning and orbit teams, the challenges faced during servicing missions, and the steps taken to ensure the telescope's functionality post-mission.

What is the primary responsibility of the Space Telescope Operations Control Center (STOCC)?

• Building new telescopes

• Conducting scientific research

• Monitoring Hubble systems and facilitating observations

• Training astronauts

Where are the scientists who analyze Hubble's data located?

• In Greenbelt, MD

• At the Science Institute in Baltimore

• In Houston

• At the STOCC

What is the role of the planning team during the STS 125 mission?

• To monitor the telescope's power

• To prepare for the shuttle's arrival

• To support the orbit team

• To conduct scientific experiments

What is a key difference between normal operations and servicing missions?

• Normal operations are conducted in space

• Servicing missions have strict time constraints

• Normal operations involve astronauts

• Servicing missions require more personnel

Why must problems be resolved quickly during servicing missions?

• The telescope is fragile

• The shuttle has a tight schedule

• Astronauts have limited oxygen and water

• The STOCC is understaffed

What happens to Hubble's antennas during the transition for shuttle arrival?

• They are repaired

• They are extended

• They are replaced

• They are retracted

What is the purpose of positioning Hubble for grapple?

• To recharge its batteries

• To allow the shuttle to capture it

• To avoid contamination

• To take better pictures
