t's not yet official, but NASA appears to have all the elements in place for the approval of STS-125, Shuttle Discovery's mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). HST SM-04 is currently set to launch early in 2008, but may move up to 2007. Discovery will be commanded by Scott Altman. The mission has officially been recommended to have a unique LON (Launch On Need) rescue mission on standby. |

There is also a very good 4-part article in today's spaceflightnow by William Harwood: http://www.spaceflightnow.com/news/n0610/27hubble/
From the scientific perspective it makes an overwhelming case to go ahead with SM-4! |

Speaking of Hubble, someone posted up this personal video they shot of Columbia launching on the last servicing flight in 2002 (STS-109). I added some 'production value' to it, though most people already call this liftoff one of the most "beautiful" launches ever.  You don't need a MySpace account to view this video -------------------- 2011 JPL Tweetup photos: http://www.rich-parno.com/aa_jpltweetup.html
