The article explains how Earth's atmosphere blurs celestial images and blocks some rays. It notes NASA's plan to launch the Hubble space telescope into orbit about 380 miles above Earth, where the atmosphere is absent to provide clearer space pictures.
The shuttle will fly higher than ever to release the 43 foot telescope into orbit after a five hour deployment. Astronauts will use a 50 foot robotic arm to guide Hubble as solar panels and antennae are extended. The arm releases the telescope, the shuttle backs away forty miles, mirrors shield opens, and Hubble begins checkout.
