Space shuttle Atlantis' crew members are taking part in an equipment test Friday at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida today in preparation for their mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope. The telescope has already rewritten the books on astronomy and will remain operational for at least another five years following the upgrades.
On Thursday afternoon, Atlantis arrived at Kennedy's Launch Pad 39A following its slow trek from the Vehicle Assembly Building. The shuttle assembly was secured at the pad at 3:52 p.m. EDT, more than six hours after the rollout began. Atlantis is targeted to launch Oct. 10 on mission STS-125. > View more images
