View from one of the lower aft flight deck windows of the STS-109 orbiter Columbia's Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm end effector disconnecting from a grapple fixture on the -V3 plane of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) after five Extravehicular Activities (EVAs) to make repairs on the HST. The HST has been lifted out of the orbiters payload bay and placed back into orbit. The image is framed by the window sill. An Earth limb is also visible in the background.
