Space Shuttle Mission to Upgrade Hubble Space Telescope

Space shuttle mission STS-125, scheduled for early October, will be the fifth  (and presumably final) trip to repair the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope. The space shuttle Atlantis crew will deliver and install a new camera and other scientific equipment (including the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph or COS), as well as new stabilizing gyroscopes.
