STS-103 – trzecia (SM3A) misja serwisowa amerykańskiego wahadłowca Discovery do Kosmicznego Teleskopu Hubble’a. Równocześnie był to dwudziesty siódmy lot promu kosmicznego Discovery i dziewięćdziesiąty szósty programu lotów wahadłowców[3].

- startowa orbitera: 112 493 kg
- lądującego orbitera: 95 768 kg
- Perygeum: 563 km[4]
- Apogeum: 609 km[4]
- Inklinacja: 28,45°[4]
- Okres orbitalny: 96,4 min[4]
Cel misji
- źródło[3]
- Trzeci lot serwisowy do Kosmicznego Teleskopu Hubble’a, umieszczonego na orbicie w kwietniu 1990 roku (Discovery STS-31).
Trzecia misja serwisowa została podzielona na dwa etapy, tworząc SM3A i SM3B (Servicing Mission). 13 listopada 1999 roku awarii uległ już czwarty spośród sześciu żyroskopów satelity, co uniemożliwiło sterowanie położeniem teleskopu. SM3A miała za zadanie przywrócenie sprawności Hubble’a. W czasie misji wymieniono wszystkie żyroskopy, a także komputer pokładowy i dokonano kilku innych istotnych napraw. Wyłączono Kamery Bliskiej Podczerwieni i Spektrometru Multiobiektowego (NICMOS) do czasu instalacji systemu chłodzenia (podczas następnej misji serwisowej)[5].

Flag of the United States.svg
The flag of Navassa Island is simply the United States flag. It does not have a "local" flag or "unofficial" flag; it is an uninhabited island. The version with a profile view was based on Flags of the World and as a fictional design has no status warranting a place on any Wiki. It was made up by a random person with no connection to the island, it has never flown on the island, and it has never received any sort of recognition or validation by any authority. The person quoted on that page has no authority to bestow a flag, "unofficial" or otherwise, on the island.

STS-103 Patch.svg
Designed by the crewmembers, the STS-103 emblem depicts the Space Shuttle Discovery approaching the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) prior to its capture and berthing. The purpose of the mission is to remove and replace some of the Telescope's older and out-of-date systems with newer, more reliable and more capable ones, and to make repairs to HST's exterior thermal insulation that has been damaged by more than nine years of exposure to the space environment. The horizontal and vertical lines centered on the Telescope symbolize the ability to reach and maintain a desired attitude in space, essential to the instrument's scientific operation. The preservation of this ability is one of the primary objectives of the mission. After the flight, the Telescope will resume its successful exploration of deep space and will continue to be used to study solar system objects, stars in the making, late phases of stellar evolution, galaxies and the early history of the universe. HST, as represented on this emblem was inspired by views from previous servicing missions, with its solar arrays illuminated by the Sun, providing a striking contrast with the blackness of space and the night side of Earth.
