In the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, an overhead crane lowers the Orbital Replacement Unit Carrier, or ORUC, into the payload canister. It will be placed next to the Flight Support System carrier already in the canister. The carrier is one of four associated with the STS-125 mission to service the Hubble Space Telescope. It will be installed in the payload canister for transfer to Launch Pad 39A. At the pad, all the carriers will be loaded into space shuttle Atlantis’ payload bay. Launch of Atlantis is targeted for Oct. 10. Photo credit: NASA/Jack Pfaller
