Hubble Servicing Mission 1-02
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of NASA's first space servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope, we are sharing this gallery of images from all five of the Hubble servicing missions.
Astronauts serviced Hubble for the first time in December 1993. Including that trip, there have been five astronaut servicing missions to Hubble between 1993 and 2009.
How did astronauts repair and service the Hubble Space Telescope more than 300 miles above the surface of the Earth? Watch Hubble astronauts as they discuss servicing from the innovative Robotics Operations Center: bit.ly/2EiiNTP

During her first extravehicular activity (EVA) session, Kathryn C. Thornton was photographed by one of her crewmates in the shirtsleeve environment inside the Space Shuttle Endeavour. Thomas D. Akers (seen in the background at the lower right) were performing servicing tasks on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in December 1993. This EVA was the second of five performed during the eleven-day STS-61 mission.
