Components comprising the payload for space shuttle Atlantis on the STS-125 mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope are on display in the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. Seen in the foreground is the Flight Support System carrier with the Soft Capture Mechanism. Over 11 days and five spacewalks, Atlantis’ crew will make repairs and upgrades to the telescope, leaving it better than ever and ready for at least another five years – or more – of research. Launch of Atlantis is targeted for Oct. 10. Photo credit: NASA/Troy Cryder
