WEDNESDAY, MAY 13: Ahhhh, the long-awaited "Hubble-Hug"!
It's been 7 years since Hubble's last servicing mission, hence, this is the first time we have seen the telescope in that long...
This video has 3 parts: the first view of Hubble as Atlantis approached, the actual capture (grapple) of Hubble as seen from the camera on the end of the shuttle's robotic arm as Atlantis inches toward it from below, and Hubble finally attached to the end of the arm, flying above Earth. (all video segments are recorded as time-lapse to reduce file size and viewing times)
My next few posts will include video segments from the actual spacewalks as the astronauts replace several components. Stay tuned!
