HUT Scientific and Technical Personnel for Astro-1
The Astro-1 HUT team was made up of nearly 30 Johns Hopkins and APL scientists and staff.
Most of these people were at Marshall Space Flight Center working in 12 hour shifts around the
clock to support the Astro-1 mission. Due to the delays caused by the Challenger accident,
many of these people had put eight or nine years into supporting this project,
by the time Columbia launched on December 2, 1990.
