SUMMARY:The fourth Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission and the scienti
 fic prospects of the repaired HST
DESCRIPTION:The fourth Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission and the sci
 entific prospects of the repaired HST\nDr. Lisa Mazzuca\n\nThe Hubble Spac
 e Telescope has been given new life with the successful Servicing Mission 
 4 (SM4). The goal of each servicing mission to the telescope has been to r
 eplace instruments and other system components that would enable better sc
 ience  productivity and enlightenment. But never before has the notion of 
 repairing existing broken instruments in the telescope been considered bec
 ause of the complexity of such an activity... until now. During SM4, two n
 ew scientific instruments were installed – the Cosmic Origins Spectrogra
 ph (COS) and Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3); two failed instruments, the Space
  Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) and the Advanced Camera for Surveys
  (ACS), were brought back to life by the first ever on-orbit repairs; and,
  the spacecraft original batteries were replaced with new ones that will k
 eep HST powered well into the next decade. But what will the scientific ob
 servations look like? The evidence is here with the release of the early o
 bservations  from each instrument, and the news is wonderful!\n\n
