Hubble's new Solar Aray thermal test is underway


Copyright: ESA

The NASA Mechanical Integration team takes a well deserved break now that the Large Space Simulator (LSS) chamber doors are closed and the thermal test is underway. Once the actual test ends they will be very busy breaking down the test setup and securing the hardware for its return trip to the United States on the Air Force C5 aircraft (ESTEC, Noordwijk, 27 October 2000).
