Crazy Engineering: The Camera That Fixed Hubble

A cylindrical space craft with two solar wings and two rods capped in spheres protruding from it in relief over the planet Earth and space. Caption: The Hubble Telescope is made of several different instruments.

In 1990, when the first images from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope were too blurry to use, JPL scientists and engineers went to work to devise a fix. They created a camera with corrective vision to bring Hubble images into sharp focus. Part of the “Crazy Engineering” series.
