The discovery after its launch that the Hubble Space Telescope's primary mirror suffered from a flaw disappointed scientists who could not obtain the sharp images they had expected. But thanks to the Hubble's built-in feature of on-orbit servicing, NASA devised a plan to correct the telescope's optics during the first planned repair mission. The agency assigned one of its most experienced crews
