Preparations continue this week for the STS-125 mission to service NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, targeted for lift off on 12th May. Today at Johnson Space Center in Houston, the astronauts are practicing inside the nearby Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory for the first two spacewalks of the mission.
Last week, the astronauts were at Kennedy Space Center in Florida where they had a chance to check out the mission hardware. At Kennedy today, technicians at Launch Pad 39A are conducting a validation test on the Range Safety System as they prepare Atlantis for launch.
