STS-82 ONBOARD VIEW --- In the Space Shuttle Discovery's cargo bay, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is backdropped against Earth's limb and atmosphere following its servicing by astronauts and prior to its release. Two teams of space walkers alternated Extravehicular Activity (EVA) days to complete five total days of servicing chores on the orbiting observatory.
