SPACE-WALKING iSOBOT ASTRONOMER
REPAIRS THE IST TELESCOPE

Welcome to the IST (Isobot Space Telescope)

News Flash!
Tuesday, February 19, 2008
on the night of the 97% waxing gibbous Moon


Brave little i-SOBOT robot space-walks along the main tube optics array
of the IST to make adjustments to the ocular section of his space telescope.

A mechanical camera clamp allows i-SOBOT to have foot-holds during work,
as he removes the ocular assembly from the eyepiece holder.

I believe this is the first humanoid astronomer to space walk along the tube
of a space telescope to initiate an autonomous repair.

Some records set during this event:
1) First humanoid astronomer
2) Smallest humanoid astronomer
3) First humanoid telescope repair
4) First humanoid space walk along a telescope
5) First humanoid scientist to adjust a telescope ocular
6) First humanoid programs created to accomplish 1 through 5
