The Hubble Space Telescope is now securely latched down on a special support structure (out of frame) in the cargo bay of the Space Shuttle Columbia. The crew aimed various cameras, including the digital still camera used for this frame, out the shuttle's aft flight deck windows to take a series of survey type photos, the first closeup images of the telescope since December of 1999.
