WASHINGTON — NASA will host a media teleconference at 5 p.m. EDT on Thursday, Oct. 30, to discuss the status of the upcoming shuttle servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope. The fifth and final “house call” by astronauts to the telescope originally was planned for Oct. 10 but was postponed due to an onboard computer anomaly.
The briefing participants are: – Jon Morse, director of the Astrophysics Division in NASA’s Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington – Preston Burch, Hubble Space Telescope manager at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.
