New Outer Blanket Layer (NOBL) Installation EVA Animation
A NOBL consists of stainless steel panels covered with a protective Multi-Layer Insulation (MLI) thermal coating. These panels fit over existing, degraded insulation on Hubble's exterior surface, to control Hubble's internal temperature. The NOBL will be permanently mounted.
