SCIENCE
HUBBLE MISSION
Hubble's final servicing mission
On Monday, May 11, after months of delays and preparation,
NASA's Space Shuttle Atlantis launched from the Kennedy Space Center on the
final servicing mission to the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope. The seven crew
members left Florida for low Earth orbit at 2:01 pm, for a scheduled 11-day
mission, including 5 days of Extra-vehicular activity (EVAs) to work on the
Hubble. So far the repairs appear to be going very well - the final EVA is
scheduled for today, and the landing planned for May 22nd. I was fortunate
enough to attend the launch at Banana Creek viewing area, and wish to extend
my gratitude to all the people at NASA. (Only one of the photos below is mine)
