2003 May - Goddard - Optical
Bench into Enclosure ---
Having
been worked on separately for over a year, the main
enclosure and the optical bench come together as the
latter is carefully inserted into the former.
The flat metal plate shown in the top center image is
WFC3's cold plate. It goes beneath the optical bench
on the floor of the main enclosure. |

2003 May - Goddard - Refurbished
Radiator ---
| The
radiator is the only portion of the instrument that
is exposed to space as it curves along Hubble's outside
shell. The radiator of WFPC1 is refurbished for WFC3.
Not only is it repaired, resurfaced, and repainted,
but physical and electrical reconfigurations are made
to accommodate the mechanisms of WFC3. |
