Astronauts have just completed the Hubble Space Telescope repair work and made it much more powerful and efficient than before.

This maintenance and upgrade with 5 space walks by astronauts installed a new control dial, battery, camera and insulation for Hubble glass.
These new details and improvements over the past five years will make the planet's largest space telescope capable of capturing the shimmering images of the universe in the next 5 to 10 years. "Hubble has returned to the number one position and is now fully equipped," commented the astrophysicist of NASA American Space Agency Jon Morse.
Astronauts plan to bring Hubble glasses back to orbit today. With the newly added details worth $ 220 million, the space-and-eye "device" of humans will be able to help scientists further study the history of cosmic formation.
Preston Burch, Hubble's glass program manager, said that despite using some of the old details, this telescope could now be considered a completely new laboratory and a tremendous improvement over Hubble's 1990s, when it was launched into orbit.
