Crew to carry out some station improvements

Written by Web Master
With the first mission spacewalk complete, the combined shuttle and station crews will work on preparing the station for future crews and transferring supplies and equipment to the station. The crew members will install several racks in the Destiny laboratory, as well as additional crew quarters. The equipment being installed during STS-126 will provide additional capability for the station to house astronauts and to increase the station crew size from three to six by spring 2009. The crews also will prepare for the second spacewalk of the mission. Mission specialists Heide Stefanyshyn-Piper and Shane Kimbrough will venture outside of the station Thursday.

STS 125 Mission - Hubble Mission Postponed

Written by Admin
A critical equipment failure aboard the Hubble Space Telescope on the eve of a long-awaited fifth and final shuttle servicing mission put astronomical observations on hold and forced NASA managers today to delay the mid-October flight of Atlantis. Pending an engineering review, the long-awaited servicing mission is expected to slip from Oct. 14 to mid February - and possibly later - to give engineers and astronauts time to shoehorn replacement hardware into an already challenging five-spacewalk mission.
