Watch The Hubble Telescope Repairs Live Online

On Monday, the space shuttle Atlantis took off on a mission to repair the Hubble Space Telescope. Atlantis’ trip will include five spacewalks that NASA is streaming live on their web site.

Today’s footage showed astronauts John Grunsfeld and Drew Feustel installing a new data handling unit and a soft capture mechanism that will allow other vehicles to attach to the telescope. The astronauts also began work to place three latch-over-center kits on the Hubble that will allow for easier use of the telescope doors during future spacewalk repairs.
