SM4 EVA astronaut Andrew Feustel practices installing new battery modules on the Hubble Space Telescope. In this photograph, taken underwater at the Neutral Buoyancy laboratory at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, Andrew is shown handing an old battery module to EVA astronaut John Grunsfeld while preparing to take a new battery module to the telescope. Astronauts spend many hours choreographing their procedures in order to be as efficient as possible while performing spacewalks to repair and upgrade the telescope.    Credit:NASA  > View Larger Image
