AwardSpace OK, Im not being awarded a Hubble Space Telescope Toolbox, but the high school my wife works at is. Because NASA is having to shut down so many programs, they are giving away heat shields from space shuttles to schools around the US. Well, a teacher at the school emailed NASA, and what he said, Im not sure, but the school is being awarded a 0,000 worth Toolbox from the Hubble Space Telescope! Isn’t that insane?! I’m pretty anxious to go down to the school and check it out. What are the chances that this was used in space and how large should it be?
Chosen Answer:
Well if the toolbox actually went to the space telescope, then even if completely empty it would have cost 0,000 to send it there and back.
It might contain a pair of pliers.
Anyway, whatever it contains it has a high value from the space history point of view.

Is this ‘Toolbox’ you mentioned is a software, that you can use on your PC (laptop or whatever) to process the picture downloaded from the telescope, on screen? It might produce the same effect of operating a telescope (I am thinking of a basic telescope, but imagine same is possible with a big one) if I am correct.
