Stainless steel sheets will be installed in various locations on the telescope to help control Hubble's internal temperature. Covered with a protective thermal coating, these sheets will fit over existing insulation that has degraded. The following three tasks below will be performed on SM3A, time permitting. If there is insufficient time, these tasks will be completed on SM3B.
