Summary[edit]

Description
English: CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Riding a column of fire, space shuttle Atlantis hurtles into the cloud-washed sky over NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida. Atlantis and its crew of seven will rendezvous with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope. The launch was on-time at 2:01 p.m. EDT. Atlantis' 11-day flight will include five spacewalks to refurbish and upgrade the telescope with state-of-the-art science instruments that will expand Hubble's capabilities and extend its operational lifespan through at least 2014. The payload includes a Wide Field Camera 3, fine guidance sensor and the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph. Launch of Atlantis on the STS-125 mission is scheduled for 2:01 p.m. May 11 EDT.
