HUBBLE 3D
BRING THE UNIVERSE TO YOUR STUDENTS’ FINGERTIPS!
Treat your students to the ultimate field trip! Through the power of IMAX® 3-D, your class can journey through distant galaxies to explore the mysteries of our celestial surroundings, accompany space-walking astronauts as they attempt the most difficult tasks in NASA history, and experience never-before-seen 3-D flights through Hubble imagery.
Visit www.imax.com/hubble to download classroom activities inspired by the film to further extend the learning experience into the classroom. Curriculum tie-ins include science and technology, communication, critical thinking, and more!
Narrated by Leonardo DiCaprio, Hubble 3D reunites the Space Station 3D filmmaking team, led by producer/director Toni Myers. James Neihouse, director of photography, also doubles as the astronaut crew trainer. Judy Carroll is associate producer. Graeme Ferguson, co-founder of IMAX and pioneer producer of many IMAX space films, is executive producer. Hubble 3D is an IMAX and Warner Bros. Pictures production, in cooperation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Exclusive IMAX engagements of Hubble 3D are taking place in March/April 2010. The film will have a wider release in August 2010.

Hubble Career Multimedia -- Special Editions
The Hubble Legacy
Duration: 4.5 minutes
Astronaut Kathryn Thornton and NASA engineer Russ Werneth look back at the challenges and triumphs of the Hubble Space Telescope servicing missions.
The video clip includes footage from Servicing Mission 1 and Servicing Mission 4.
Hubble Career Profiles
Duration: 3.0 minutes
These two video profiles begin to explore what systems engineering is as seen through the roles of Benjamin Reed and Jackie Townsend on the Hubble Space Telescope. Through their personal backgrounds and current work, Reed and Townsend show that great engineers share patience, tenacity, and a passion for problem solving.
Reed is a materials assurance engineer who has a background in chemistry and has most recently worked on improving Hubble's outer blanket layer.
Townsend came to Goddard with a background in physics and has served as the instrument manager of Hubble's newest imager, Wide Field Camera 3.
