On one hand, to be able to go from one direction in the sky to study such an object to another direction to study another object, and on the other hand to be able to maintain accurately the position in space. Claude Nicollier accuratelydirectionhand share on social
It is going to be an experiment of how it works, and I see I have all reasons to believe that it will work fine. But it's a short time. And we also have pushed the envelope here a little beyond what has been done in the past. Claude Nicollier envelopeexperimentfine share on social
I think a benefit is that we try to put it up in a short time. From the decision to do this mission until we fly, it's six months and one week or so, so it's a very short time. Claude Nicollier benefitdecisionfly Change image and share on social

The Next Generation Space Telescope, which will be located much further away from the Earth than the Hubble Space Telescope presently is, will also explore the infrared part of the spectrum. Claude Nicollier earthexploregeneration Change image and share on social
I would say the most help I got was from my dad. My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland; he's 90 years old now, so he's no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person. Claude Nicollier activecivildad Change image and share on social
We developed already, before the first servicing mission, this has been further developed on the second servicing mission and we refined it this time, all the terminology. Claude Nicollier developmissionrefine Change image and share on social
The objects that are of moderate energy, like our sun or most of the stars that we see in the night sky with the naked eye, are objects in which relatively moderate energy processes are taking place. Claude Nicollier energyeyemoderate Change image and share on social

As far as the radio waves part of the spectrum, we can do these adequately from the ground because the atmosphere is basically transparent to our radio waves. Claude Nicollier adequatelyatmospherebasically Change image and share on social
