May 14, 2009 - A wide view of the Hubble Space Telescope, locked down in the cargo bay of the Earth-orbiting Space Shuttle Atlantis, which will be site of a great deal of hands-on servicing over the next five days. The Canadian-built remote manipulator system arm (right), with its video cameras documenting activity in the shuttle's cargo bay all week, was instrumental in grappling and subsequently capturing the giant orbital observatory for the final servicing mission.
