Space Tools IMAX hubble3d -Leonardo dicaprio

NASA Astronaut Mike Massimino describes some of the special space tools that he will use in space. This is all in preparation for his mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. In May 2009, the crew of the Space Shuttle Atlantis launched a mission to make vital repairs and upgrades to the Hubble Telescope, the world’s first space-based observatory, 563 kilometers above the Earth. On board was an IMAX camera, operated by the Shuttle astronauts. It captured stunning sequences of the intricate spacewalks required to make those repairs, as well as close-up images of the effort to grasp the orbiting telescope with the shuttle's mechanical arm at 28200 kph. HUBBLE 3D is an IMAX and Warner Bros. Pictures production, in cooperation with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Narrated by Leonardo dicaprio, the film reunites the Space Station filmmaking team, led by Director Toni Myers, James Neihouse, Director of Photography and Executive Producer Graeme Ferguson who is also the co-founder of IMAX and a pioneer producer of many IMAX space films. The IMAX HUBBLE film has its Canadian premiere at the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto on March 19, 2010.
