Atlantis' astronauts grabbed the Hubble Space Telescope on Wednesday, then quickly set their sights on the difficult, dangerous and unprecedented spacewalking repairs they will attempt over the next five days. Good luck, gentlemen.

Glad to hear the rendevous went well and Hubble is now held by Atlantis. Good luck the crew on repairing our orbital telescope

A pair of spacewalking astronauts overpowered a stubborn bolt and successfully installed a new piano-sized camera in the Hubble Space Telescope on Thursday, the first step to making the observatory better than ever.

Today the space walkers finished the first of 5 spacewalks and it went very well. It lasted about 50 min over the scheduled amount planned but was do to minor problems. The crews of STS-125 are currently sleeping after making preparations for EVA 2 tomorrow which will be completed by "The Mikes".

Spacewalking astronauts had to put a refurbished pair of gyroscopes into the Hubble Space Telescope after a brand new set refused to go in Friday, but scientists were satisfied nonetheless and confident the observatory would point precisely to ever more distant objects in the cosmos.
