Free to the Public

In May 2009 the last Space Shuttle to visit the Hubble Space Telescope successfully upgraded the telescope with new cameras and instruments as well as making repairs to allow the telescope to begin a new journey of discovery.  During the course of 12 days in orbit the Hubble Servicing Mission 4, or STS-125, allowed two teams of astronauts to perform 5 spacewalks.  In this talk, Astronaut Grunsfeld 
will describe the adventure of working in orbit on the Hubble Space Telescope and the exciting scientific results that the new instruments are providing.
