STS-109 Flight Day 8 HighlightsFootage of the eighth day of STS-109 is shown during which Mission Specialists John Grunsfeld and Rick Linnehan service the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). A broad overview of the Columbia Orbiter mission is presented. On the fifth extravehicular activity (EVA) of the mission, Grunsfeld and Linnehan installed a new cryogenic cooling system and radiator on HST for NICMOS (Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer) which had not been previously operational due to the failure of an earlier cooling system. Linnehan and Grunsfeld are both shown on the end of the Orbiter's robot arm, the Remote Manipulator System, which was controlled by Commander Scott Altman. Following the completion of their spacewalks, the two Mission Specialists make statements which include thanking the numerous support personnel. Linnehan answers questions on the differences between training simulation at facilities such as the Neutral Buoyancy Lab (NBL) and his actual experiences in space.
