HANDPRINTS ON HUBBLE An Astronaut's Story of Invention

In a clear voice, narrator Christina Moore presents the technical language that Kathryn Sullivan uses to explain her life's work as the first woman astronaut charged with maintaining the Hubble telescope in space. Sullivan's presentation is structured and orderly. Moore tackles the narrative with a tone of confidence and pleasure in her voice. Sullivan and her fellow astronauts invented and fabricated tools to help service the Hubble. As a result of their efforts, NASA was able to fix a significant defect in the Hubble's mirror system. The rich detail in this audiobook gives Moore an opportunity to display her performance skills. She engages listeners with Sullivan's journey and sparks an appreciation for the Hubble's place in our exploration of the universe. E.E.S. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2020]
