Space Shuttle Columbia (NASA Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-102) "Hubble Space Telescope Servicing Mission 3B of :STS-109."
Servicing Mission 3B was flown by Space Shuttle Columbia (STS-109) in March xxxx . That mission saw the installation of a new instrument, (with the FOC, the last original instrument) being replaced by the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). This meant that COSTAR (Correction Optics) was no longer required, since all new instruments now had correction for the main mirror aberration built in.
The mission also saw the revival of NICMOS, which had run out of coolant in xxxx. A new cooling system was installed that reduced the instrument's temperature enough for it to be usable again. Although not as cold as its original design called for, the temperature is more stable, in many ways a better tradeoff.
ACS (Advanced Camera for Surveys) in particular improved Hubble's capabilities; it and the revived NICMOS together imaged the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. The mission replaced the solar arrays for the second time. The new arrays were derived from those built for the Iridium Comsat system and were only two-thirds the size of the old arrays, resulting in less drag against the tenuous reaches of the upper atmosphere while providing 30 percent more power. The additional power allowed all instruments on board the HST to be run simultaneously, and reduced a vibration problem that occurred when the old, less rigid arrays entered and left direct sunlight. Hubble's Power Distribution Unit was also replaced in order to correct a problem with sticky relays, a procedure that required the complete electrical power down of the spacecraft for the first time since it was launched.
STS-109 (SM3B) was a Space Shuttle mission that launched from the Kennedy Space Center on 1 March xxxx. It was the 108th mission of the Space Shuttle program, and the 27th flight of the orbiter Columbia, and the fourth servicing of the Hubble Space Telescope. It was also the last successful mission of the orbiter Columbia before the ill-fated STS-107 mission, which culminated in the Columbia Disintegration Upon Re-Entry Disaster.
