Technical Aspects of the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph Repair (STIS-R)In August 2004, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) ceased operation, due to a failure in the Side 2 Low Voltage Power Supply (LVPS2). The LVPS2 provided power to the entire instrument, including all detectors and mechanisms. The failure precluded movement of any STIS mechanism, leaving the instrument fully shuttered. The fault analysis team concluded that by replacing a board containing a new LVPS2 power supply, STIS could be brought back to full functionality. During Servicing Mission 4 (SM4), STIS-R will replace this board. STIS-R will restore full function of the instrument with one of the two redundant sides of the instrument.
