Have you ever wondered how +NASA and the Space Telescope Science Institute actually drive Hubble? How do we point it? How do we get the data down from orbit? How do we communicate with it? How do we know when something goes wrong and what do we do about it?
Please join +Tony Darnell Dr +Carol Christian and +Scott Lewis as we talk with the engineers/scientists from +NASA Goddard who operate our beloved Hubble Space Telescope.
Bring your questions and comments and we’ll read them on air throughout the hangout!
*Special Note*
Our own Dr. +Jason Kalirai has been nominated for a Listener Choice Award for an audio segment on Exploring Exoplanets released last July.
