STS109-708-038 (3 March 2002) --- The Hubble Space Telescope (HST), in the grasp of the Space Shuttle Columbia's robotic arm, is captured by the STS-109 crew members on flight day three. Moments later, the giant telescope was locked down in the shuttle's cargo bay, where it went on to remain as the crew members performed five space walks in the following week to service and upgrade it.
