"Discovery go for Hubble release"
My role with the Hubble Space Telescope Servicing Mission Team
was EVA Manager.
EVA stands for extravehicular activity, and that's NASA-speak
for astronaut space walks.
My team built the tools, trained the astronauts,
went through the procedures,
and monitored what the astronauts did
on five servicing missions
to make sure things were successful.
We designed pieces to be taken apart from Hubble.
Solar arrays could come off,
scientific instruments could come out and be replaced,
or we got new technology.
