Hubble Servicing Mission 4-06
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
S125-E-007537 (15 May 2009) --- Astronaut Mike Massimino works with the Hubble Space Telescope in the cargo bay of the Earth-orbiting Space Shuttle Atlantis. Astronauts Massimino and Michael Good (out of frame) participated in the second session of STS-125 extravehicular activity -- as part of a five-day beehive-like agenda of spacewalking and work on the giant orbital observatory.
