Due for launch in December 1999, the STS-103 mission will be the third flight to service and repair the Hubble Space Telescope. ESA astronauts onboard the shuttle will be Jean-Francois Clervoy and Claud Nicollier. The mission is especially urgent following a failure of the fourth gyroscope out of six in Hubble's pointing system, which it needs to set its sights on various objects in the Universe.
The VNR contains two A-rolls, one focussing on the astronauts and the other concerned with scientific aspects of the mission. B-roll footage includes Hubble graphics and real in-orbit images, shuttle launch, coverage of previous missions STS-61 and STS-82, Nicollier and Clervoy training with NASA, and interviews with astronauts and Hubble scientists [including some Italian and German soundbites].
