Virtual Tour of the Hubble Control Center: Operations Support Room

The video tutorial explains the operations room where engineers test updates and troubleshoot issues for the Hubble Space Telescope. It highlights the process of diagnosing problems, such as hardware failures or electrical fluctuations, and restoring normal operations. The room features displays showing Hubble's status, including its position relative to ground stations and its current astronomical target. A model of Hubble in the space Shuttle cargo bay is also present, illustrating past servicing missions.
