About this work
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. - Workers in the Payload Changeout Room, Launch Pad 39A, check the progress of Columbia’s payload bay doors closing around the equipment inside to be used on mission STS-109. During their 11 days in space, the seven-member crew will capture the Hubble Space Telescope using the Shuttle's robotic arm and secure it on a workstand in Columbia’s payload bay. Four mission specialists will perform five scheduled spacewalks to complete system upgrades to the telescope.
