Atlantis and Hubble Together


Worked my first full shift overnight. I'm on what's called the "planning shift" where activities are replanned if necessary for the next day. The astronauts are sleeping during most of this period. My shift goes from ~3:30 PM to ~4 to 4:30 AM.

The Atlantis crew spent yesterday closing in on Hubble while performing Orbiter tile inspections. Just watched the crew capture and berth Hubble on NASA TV here in the hotel room.

FYI: Background information on the various repairs and upgrades being made to Hubble during this mission can be found at this NASA link.
