Fifteen years ago, a remarkable mission
unfolded above the Earth.
The Hubble Space Telescope, humanity's eye on the universe,
received an unprecedented upgrade
during its fifth and final Servicing Mission.
In May 2009, a brave team of astronauts
embarked on a daring journey aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis.
Their mission? To breathe new life into Hubble,
ensuring its legacy of discovery could continue for years to come.
Over the course of five intense spacewalks,
they replaced aging components,
installed state-of-the-art instruments,
and rejuvenated Hubble's capabilities.
The impact was profound.
Hubble's vision became sharper,
its reach extended deeper into the cosmos,
and its scientific output soared to brand new heights.
Fifteen years later, we continue to celebrate the remarkable
success of Servicing Mission 4,
a testament to human ingenuity,
perseverance, and the enduring spirit of exploration.
