In the test cell of the VPF at KSC, technicians are removing the protective ""cocoon"" from the upper portion of the Hubble Space Telescope. After the lower portion of the cocoon is cut away, there will be a final cleaning of the telescope and a contamination inspection. A fresh cocoon will be lowered over HST.
