Hubble's guidance and power systems were replaced during two earlier space walks, on Sunday and Monday.
Hubble gets tuned up
Endeavour's crew makes space walk for delicate repairs
The Associated Press
SPACE CENTER, Houston — NASA's high-altitude repair crew installed replacement parts to fix half of the Hubble Space Telescope's near-sightedness Tuesday.
Even as they exulted that "we won the division and we are now in the playoffs," NASA officials cautioned against taking success for granted.
The result of the repairs by the Endeavour's crew should be a telescope that will live nearly up to the original promise of getting crisp images and detailed scientific data from the faintest and oldest bodies in the universe.
In less than two turns around the world, cremewen Jeffrey Hoffman and Story Musgrave defyly pulled out Hubble's old camera like a dresser drawer and slid in the new one, a 620-pound unit the size of a baby grand piano.
But NASA has been stung before. The agency suffered its greatest
the new mirrors and get the photograph that astronomers call "first light."
embarrassment not long after the April 1990 launch of the Hubble when it had to admit that the main 94.5 inch-diameter lens had been ground to the wrong specifications, leaving the telescope blurry-eyed.
Two space-walking astronauts installed a camera whose mirrors make up for the flaws created by the telescope's musshapen main mirror.
A second team, Kathy Thornton and Tom Akers, was set to install a tricky device that intercepts incoming light and corrects it before it hits three other Hubble optical instruments.
The mirrors are in a 7-foot-high telephone booth-like box that weighs 640 pounds. It is slid into a space now occupied by a high-speed photometer. That instrument, which provided only 2 percent of the Hubble's science capability, will be brought back to Earth.
It will take six to eight weeks to orient the telescope, recalibrate its instruments, fine tune the position of
When Hoffman installed the new magnetometers near the very top of the four-story telescope, two sides of the box came off in his hand. Mission Control thought at first of putting a "baggy" over it, then decided to install pieces of insulation from the cover of a tool in the cargo bay later in the flight.
As each part was installed, engineers on the ground conducted tests and proclaimed that all electrical connections had been properly made.
THE NEWS in brief
KIRYAT ARBA, Occupied West Bank Gunfire during funeral procession threatens PLO-Israel peace plan
Arabs stoned a funeral procession for two Jewish settlers, drawing gunfire from mourners and soldiers yesterday. Israel sent thousands of troops to the occupied lands to cope with growing violence.
Clashes occurred as the cortege crossed the West Bank town of Bethlehem and as mourners headed to the Jewish cemetery in Hebron, also in the West Bank. Three Arabs were reportedly wounded by gunfire.
Thirty-seven Palestinians and 14 Israelis have been killed since the Sept. 13 signing of the PLO-Israel accord as extremists on both sides try to undo the agreement.
The daily violence threatens to postpone Israel's withdrawal from the occupied Gaza Strip and the West Bank region of Jericho, set to begin Dec. 13.
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin has said that although a small delay in implementing the accord is needed to iron out security arrangements, any substantial change would hand the extremists a victory.
"We are fully aware of the difficulties that still lie ahead, but I believe that together with those in the Arab side who want peace it will be possible to overcome these difficulties," Rabin said Tuesday.
Palestinian negotiators who met yesterday with visiting U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher said keeping with the peace plan was the only way to stop the violence.
WASHINGTON
Latex source of allergic reactions
WASHINGTON — Natural rubber latex is causing allergic reactions ranging from mild irritation to life-threatening shock, a dermatologist reports.
The Associated Press
One study found that 7 percent of surgeons and 5 percent of operating room nurses were allergic to their latex surgical gloves.
In a lecture at the at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Dermatology, Dr. Ronald R. Brancaccio of the New York University Medical Center said yesterday allergy reactions are being reported "more and more commonly," especially among medical workers.
Allergy reactions often develop from an increased exposure to a substance, Brancaccio said, and the AIDS epidemic has caused increased use of latex like health care workers using a new set of gloves for each patient they treat, and the national safe sex campaign to use latex condoms to avoid getting AIDS.
Brancaccio said more cases are being reported of both male and female sex partners experiencing allergic reactions to latex condoms.

World illiteracy falls, rises in Africa
The Associated Press
In a two-year report the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization also said war and social upheaval hampered education in the Third World and former Soviet bloc. It urged a shift from military to educational spending.
PARIS — Illiteracy has fallen globally for the first time but continues to rise in Africa, where education needs to encourage women to have fewer children, UNESCO said yesterday.
The 172-page World Education Report comes one week before the world's first education summit in New Delhi, involving the nine most populous countries representing 72 percent of the world's illiterates.
The study said the number of illiterate adults fell to 905 million in 1980, down from 945 million in 1980.
In sub-Saharan Africa, however, the number of illiterates rose from 132 million in 1980 to 138 million in 1990.
