NASA announced that they're going to film the final Hubble servicing mission in IMAX format for a new IMAX movie.
Remember, this is NASA's riskiest mission ever. I just think they should wait until after the mission's over before announcing how great it's going to be to see the in-space repair mission on the big screen.
IMAX-3D Camera To Film Hubble Servicing Mission
"The IMAX team has trained Atlantis' crew at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston to operate the cameras. One will be mounted outside the crew cabin in the shuttle's cargo bay to capture IMAX 3-D images of the historic final servicing mission. The commander and pilot will double as filmmakers as two teams of spacewalking astronauts - working in tandem with the shuttle's robotic arm - perform some of the most challenging work ever undertaken in space as they replace and refurbish many of the telescope's precision instruments."
Well, the mission is to launch May 11. Good luck and godspeed -- and bring back that footage.
