Claude Nicollier quotes
" As far as the radio waves part of the spectrum, we can do these adequately from the ground because the atmosphere is basically transparent to our radio waves. "

Claude Nicollier
" ESA contributed from the beginning in the systems of the Hubble Space Telescope, and of course, in return, the European astronomers receive a similar fraction of observing time on the telescope. "

Claude Nicollier
" He has total knowledge of what has to be done on this EVA, and he has the procedures and all the cameras in his direct view of what's going on. He will be directing the operation. "

Claude Nicollier
" Hubble is very close to my heart, and going back to Hubble, because I was there once already in 1993, is really a great privilege for me. "

Claude Nicollier
" I did a number of runs as a scuba diver when they were doing their practice runs in the large water basin at Marshall Space Flight Center. Right now we do this here at Johnson. "

Claude Nicollier
" I didn't think that, as a Swiss, it was possible to do that, although I was really dreaming to do that. It was an impossible dream. "

Claude Nicollier
" I feel very privileged to be part of this mission, and when my nomination was announced, I was really very, very happy to be selected for this mission. "

Claude Nicollier
" I flew for the first time in 1992, twelve years after I started training here, and I flew three missions so far. So my first dream was to become a pilot, to become an astronomer; I became both. "

Claude Nicollier
" I remember on the first Hubble Space Telescope servicing mission in December '93, this was the first time that we were doing this at a grand scale. "

Claude Nicollier
" I think a benefit is that we try to put it up in a short time. From the decision to do this mission until we fly, it's six months and one week or so, so it's a very short time. "

Claude Nicollier
" I was relatively familiar with the EVA task, but I was, of course, quite familiar, because it was my major responsibility, with the robotic system tasks. "

Claude Nicollier
" I will also be assisting the robotic system operator, on one hand, in the capture of the telescope and the release of the telescope after completion of the repair and maintenance work. "

Claude Nicollier
" I would say the most help I got was from my dad. My dad is a civil engineer in Switzerland; he's 90 years old now, so he's no longer active as a civil engineer, but still a very active person. "

Claude Nicollier
" In a way, what we do is not totally different from some of the tasks that will be performed for the assembly of the International Space Station. "

Claude Nicollier
" In general, the objects in the universe that are very high-energy objects, or the processes that are high-energy processes, will radiate more in the short wavelength range towards the gamma rays or the x-rays. "
