Hubble's Amazing Rescue: Nova
Hubble's Amazing Rescue is a 2009 PBS Nova space documentary.
Plot: This documentary details the space mission that repaired the Hubble Telescope in 1993. Several space walks from the Space Shuttle were needed in order to perform different repair/replace tasks on the telescope to get it operational again so that it could be used for research.
My Take: Great documentary for anyone who enjoys the space program. This particular mission was fraught with so many complications and possible disasters. The $2 billion dollar Hubble Telescope had been malfunctioning to the point where it could not adequately capture the research needed by the scientists on the ground. With this documentary, you get to see the training and hear from the astronauts themselves who were on that pressure-filled mission.
