About my Hubble Research of Titan

Index of pages about my Hubble Research

Need Ultraviolet (UV) lists of molecular absorptions between 2900 A - 2960 A (290-296nm)
looking like this image showing a line list identifying molecular species
GOT UV SPECTRA ? : Read this PDF if you research in Ultraviolet spectra (molecular) maybe we can collaborate and share some resources

My proposal with technical information

United States now has Stamps out on the Hubble Telescope !!! as of Mar 21 2000
Look for myself and the other amateurs in the June 1997 issue of Sky & Telescope(p. 97) !!
Back on May 30th I was involved in an online talk about my work on Prodigy
here is a transcript of the discussion

Images of me and my Observation along with references

Click here for images of me and my observation along with references for additional reading. I now have my photos of the Shuttle launch and the target image of Titan on this page.

Here is a diagram of how my observation occured.

Some of the commands for my observation are here with other observations for the day (look for LEWYCKY)

About the Hubble and its operations

The Hubble Space Telescope is a joint NASA and ESA collaboration and is controlled at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. The scientific end of the Hubble is performed at Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) also in Maryland

HST was placed in orbit on April 24, 1990 by the Space Shuttle Discovery on STS-31.
The first servicing mission was done by Space Shuttle Endeavour on STS-61. Just recently STS-82 mission the second in a series of planned servicing missions to the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope was just completed.

Some of the other Cycle 2 amateurs who also used the Hubble that you can email to are

Harald Schenk of Wisconsin with Jim Secosky. Their research was searching for OH emissions in asteroids to see if they were dying comets. using the FOS (Faint Object Spectrograph)

Karl Hricko also of New Jersey . His research was searching for a bridge connection between a Galaxy and Quasar. using the WFPC (Wide Field Planetary Camera)

Click here to see a group photo of the Cycle 2 amateurs and some staff members of the Space Telescope Science Institute . This was from a dinner we had on the campus of Johns-Hopkins during our orientation.

Some of the other Amateurs from other cycles

Jim Flood (also from New Jersey) Currently he is the LAST amateur scheduled. His research is the Morphology of the active nucleus and radial filaments of NGC 1808, using the WFPC2 instrument (scheduled for August 1997 )

Ray Sterner (cycle 1) or his WWW Page

Here is brief listing of all 13 amateur programs by Max Mutchler at STSci .
