View of HST as it approaches Endeavour, taken from aft flight deck window

STS061-53-026 (4 Dec 1993) --- One of the Space Shuttle Endeavour's aft flight deck windows frames this view of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) as it approaches the Endeavour. Backdropped against western Australia, the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm awaits the arrival of the telescope. Once berthed in Endeavour's cargo bay, HST underwent five days of servicing provided by four space walking crew members. Shark Bay (upper left) and Perth (lower left) are visible in the frame.
