Background:

"STS-109 was NASA's fourth servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope, launching on March 1, 2002. The seven-member crew included Commander Scott D. Altman, Pilot Duane G. Carey, Payload Commander John M. Grunsfeld, and Mission Specialists Nancy J. Currie, James H. Newman, Richard M. Linnehan, and Michael J. Massimino. During the mission, the crew installed a new Advanced Camera for Surveys, new rigid solar arrays, a new Power Control Unit, and an experimental cryocooler for the Near Infrared Camera, while also reboosting Hubble to a higher orbit. This was accomplished through five consecutive spacewalks totaling 35 hours and 55 minutes — the longest cumulative EVA duration for a single Shuttle mission at the time. Sadly, STS-109 was Columbia's last successful mission; on its next flight, STS-107, the orbiter disintegrated during re-entry."
