| Description | Retired astronaut Kathryn Sullivan, the first American woman to walk in space, describes her work on the NASA team. She recounts how she and other astronauts, engineers, and scientists launched, rescued, repaired, and maintained Hubble Space Telescope. Because in-flight repair and upgrade was part of the plan, NASA was able to fix a serious defect in Hubble’s mirrors—leaving literal and metaphorical “handprints on Hubble”.. .Also Sullivan chronicles her early life as a “Sputnik Baby”, her path to NASA through oceanography, and her initiation into the space program as one of “thirty-five new guys”. She was also one of the first six women to join NASA’s storied astronaut corps. |
