HST Capture by Endeavor

The Hubble Space Telescope is pictured in Space Shuttle Endeavour's cargo bay following its capture and berthing early in the 11-day STS-61 mission in December 1993. The Remote Manipulator System robotic arm, with television cameras mounted on it, was maneuvered from inside the cabin in order to survey Hubble. Five days of spacewalks followed, during which a variety of upgrade and repair tasks were performed by four crew members.
