STS109-E-5465 (4 March 2002) --- Gathered near the airlock on the mid deck of the Space Shuttle Columbia, the two teams of assigned space walkers for STS-109 could easily be saying in unison, "One down, four to go." Still attired in their thermal undergarments, astronauts John M. Grunsfeld (left) and Richard M. Linnehan just completed the first of five scheduled STS-109 space walks to work on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), successfully replacing the starboard solar array on the giant telescope. The next day's assignment will feature replacement of the port array by astronauts James H. Newman (bottom center) and Michael J. Massimino. This image was recorded with a digital still camera.
