Atlantis Crew Grabs Hubble Space Telescope

It's rendezvous day for the crew of space shuttle Atlantis.At around 1:30 p.m. EDT Wednesday, as Atlantis was over the Pacific, astronaut Megan McArthur used the shuttle's 50-foot robot arm to grasp the school bus-sized Hubble Space Telescope.She'll use the arm to bring it into the shuttle's cargo bay.Over the next week, other astronauts will go on five spacewalks to repair Hubble for the last time.Because of the cloud of space debris in Hubble's orbit, the Atlantis crew members are running an especially high risk of collision with another object.Space shuttle Endeavour is on standby at Cape Canaveral in case a rescue mission is needed. The astronauts can't get to the International Space Station from Hubble's orbit.
