CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At Astrotech Space Operation's payload processing facility in Titusville, Fla., Lockheed Martin technicians monitor the placement of NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory-A (GRAIL-A) lunar probe on the spacecraft adapter ring. GRAIL-B is already secured to the ring, at left. After the twin GRAIL spacecraft are attached to the adapter ring in their side-by-side launch configuration, they will be transported to the launch pad. GRAIL will fly in tandem orbits around the moon for several months to measure its gravity field. GRAIL's primary science objectives are to determine the structure of the lunar interior, from crust to core, and to advance understanding of the thermal evolution of the moon. Launch aboard a United Launch Alliance Delta II rocket from Space Launch Complex 17B on Cape Canaveral Air Force Station is scheduled for Sept. 8.

Summary

The original finding aid described this as:

Description: STS-109 Astronauts John M. Grunsfeld (top) and Richard M. Linnehan participate in a 6 hour, 48 minute space walk designed to install a new Power Control Unit (PCU) on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Grunsfeld is on the end of Columbia's Remote Manipulator System (RMS) robotic arm, controlled from inside the crew cabin by astronaut Nancy J. Currie. This is the third of five Extravehicular Activities (EVAs) of the mission.
