Image: Hubble Space Telescope over Earth (during the STS-109 mission)
Description: The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) heads back toward its normal routine, after a week of servicing and upgrading by the STS-109 astronaut crew on board the Space Shuttle Columbia. Hubble's fourth servicing mission gave the telescope its first new instrument installed since STS-82's 1997 repair mission – the Advanced Camera for Surveys. It doubled Hubble's field of view and records information much faster than Hubble's Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2.
