NASA's Curious Universe

Inside the Team That Keeps Hubble Flying

When it launched in 1990, NASA expected the Hubble Space Telescope to last for about 15 years. Thirty-five years later, Hubble is still showing us the universe as no other telescope can. Go behind the scenes with Morgan Van Arsdall, deputy operations manager for Hubble, on an audio tour of Hubble’s control center. Morgan’s team keeps Hubble operating smoothly, and when something goes wrong, they snap into action to fix it. Plus, hear how Hubble tag-teams with newer observatories—including the James Webb Space Telescope—and continues to push the frontiers of astronomy.

This image shows a navy blue circle with a logo in the center that reads “NASA’s Curious Universe” in white letters with stars in the upper left and bottom right. Surrounding the circle, there are panels of shades of alternative reds and blues with red icons floating. The icons include a plane, planet Saturn, an asteroid with smaller rocks surrounding, a satellite, a question mark, a telescope, molecules, and part of a visualization of a black hole.
