Space Shuttle Endeavour - STS-61 Launch

On this day in 1993, Space Shuttle Endeavour launched on one of the most important flights of Shuttle Program history - STS-61 was the first Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission, but it was more than that: Hubble had been launched with a defect in its primary mirror, which meant that any images that it took were blurred beyond all useable measure. Unless its myopia could be corrected, Hubble would be a total loss; Endeavour's mission was to fit Hubble with glasses. 

This video is taken from NASA's official Mission Highlights reel released in 1993, and gently upscaled via AI protocol. The ambient audio is custom, composed of recordings of the launches of STS-116, STS-117, STS-133, and STS-134.
