The
astronauts shown here are training on the electrical
section of Hubble. This is a full-size mockup
of the section of Hubble that houses the electrical
components, such as transmitters, batteries, tape
recorders, and electronics to operate other parts
of Hubble. Astronauts come to Goddard several
times prior to each mission to familiarize themselves
with Hubble's components and the tools required
to service them.
Everyone
entering this room must wear a "bunny suit" —
these are special coveralls, hoods, boots, gloves,
and masks. This gear helps protect the sensitive
flight hardware from particles that could interfere
with performance.
