Hubble Repair - Launch Day

The Atlantis mission is to repair and upgrade the Hubble space telescope. The 11-day mission will include five spacewalks. This visit will be the fifth and final repair mission for Hubble, which has been in service for 19 years. (source)


My boss is in Florida to see the launch. It's always iffy when you go there. Launches can be scrubbed, but today looks favorable.
