CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – In the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a technician prepares the Science Instrument Command and Data Handling Unit, or SIC&DH, for its move to the Multi-Use Lightweight Equipment Carrier in the facility. The SIC&DH will be installed on the Hubble Space Telescope during space shuttle Atlantis' STS-125 mission. This unit will replace the one that suffered a failure aboard the orbiting telescope on Sept. 27, 2008. Atlantis is targeted for launch on May 12. Photo credit: NASA/Dimitri Gerondidakis
