Fit checks of the some of the Optical Sensor Package (OSP) hardware fabricated by NASA HUNCH (High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware)! #ussrc #astrorestorationproject #nasahunch

Amazing work from NASA HUNCH (High Schools United with NASA to Create Hardware). From 3D printouts of the Astro fabricated pieces for fit proof tests, to the complete set of machined metal pieces. Our thanks to NASA HUNCH for outstanding work! #nasahunch #ussrc

A beautiful picture taken by NASA's Spitzer Space telescope of the wonder of our universe on this Christmas Eve --- newborn stars in a section of the Christmas Tree Cluster, nicknamed "the Snowflake Cluster". ARP wishes you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Keep looking up!

Major milestone for the Astro Restoration Project coming up! And a new book out about Spacelab Experiment Processing! Check out all the news here! mailchi.mp/ce1b449edde3/a… #rocketcenterusa #everywhereyoulook #astrorestorationproject #spacelab

The team is all here at U.S. Space & Rocket Center getting all the prep work done for installation of the Wisconsin Ultraviolet Photo Polarimeter Experiment (WUPPE). Installation Day is tomorrow, February 15! #ARP #WUPPE #rocketcenterusa #everywhereyoulook

Today's schedule for WUPPE installation operations at the US Space and Rocket Center: - Preps for final lift start at 8 a.m. CST (live streaming starts on the ARP Facebook Page) - Press Conference at 10 a.m. CST - Final installation starts at ~10:20 a.m. CST

Today marks an important milestone in the Astro Restoration Project. Students with the NASA HUNCH program partnered with Astro Restoration Project (ARP) volunteers to rejoin the first of three telescopes, the Wisconsin Ultraviolet Photo Polarimeter Experiment (WUPPE), to the restored cruciform.

A big shout out to NASA HUNCH and their team of amazing instructors and students, who built missing hardware needed for the Astro Restoration Project. #STEM #astrorestorationproject #rocketcenterusa #teledynebrown

What a great week! Time lapse videos of the installation of the Wisconsin Ultraviolet Photo Polarimeter Experiment (WUPPE), the WUPPE Sunshade, and the Optical Sensor Package this past week at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.

Our thanks to Jason Edwards, President of Edwards Design and Fabrication, and his team, who donated the WUPPE arch/brace to the Astro Restoration Project! This was a difficult task and the Edwards Design and Fabrication Team did an excellent job!

Congrats to NASA and European Space Agency on absolutely stunning first images from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)! #exploringtheuniverse #astronomyrocks nasa.gov/webbfirstimages
