Planetary Radio: Space Exploration, Astronomy and Science

Celebrating 30 Years of Hubble with Astronaut John Grunsfeld

Former astronaut and NASA Associate Administrator John Grunsfeld is often called the Hubble Repairman. He made three space shuttle trips to the space telescope to repair and upgrade it. Now he looks back over three decades of science, beautiful images, and inspiration delivered by the HST. Rubber asteroids are back, and you might win one in the new What’s Up space trivia contest.
