By January 1986, the planned launch date for Hubble that October looked feasible, but the Challenger disaster brought the U.S. space program to a halt, grounded the Shuttle fleet, and forced the launch to be postponed for several years. During this delay the telescope was kept in a clean room, powered up and purged with nitrogen, until a launch ...
STS-31 was launched on April 24, 1990 at 12:33:51 UTC (8:33:51 am EDT, local time at the launch site). A launch attempt on April 10, 1990, was scrubbed at T−4 minutes for a faulty valve in auxiliary power unit (APU) number one. The APU was eventually replaced, and the Hubble Space Telescope's batteries were recharged.
The release by Thornton imparted zero velocity to the arrays and then the orbiter did a small burn to put some distance between it and the array. The array, moving away from Endeavour at 1.5 m/s (4.9 ft/s), separated about 18 to 19 km (11 to 12 mi) each orbit. [ 5 ]
