| This week, astronauts on board the Space Shuttle Atlantis captured the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope and docked it in the shuttle cargo bay for repairs. The flight, one of the last trips for the shuttle, will be the last servicing mission for the orbiting observatory. We'll check in with NASA on the progress of the Hubble Space Telescope repair mission, and talk about what new capabilities the HST will have once upgrades are complete. |
