STS-103 Flight Day 3 Highlights and Crew Activities Report
Highlights of the third day of the STS-103 mission on board the space shuttle Discovery are shown in this videotape. The mission was led by Commander Curtis L. Brown, with Pilot Scott J Kelly, and Mission Specialists Steven L. Smith, Jean-Francois Clervoy, John M. Grunsfeld, Michael Foale, and Claude Nicollier. The main purpose of the mission was to service the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The primary objective of the mission was to replace all six of the gyroscopes that make up the three Rate Sensor Units. In addition the Astronauts installed a new computer. During the third day when Discovery reached a point about 35 feet from Hubble, astronaut Jean-Francois Clervoy used the robot arm to capture the telescope's grapple fixture located midway up the HST structure. The approach to the HST is described and the actual maneuver aimed at retrieving the telescope is also described. The video includes actual live views of the HST in the shuttle's service bay, the shuttle, and shots of Johnson mission control. .

STS-103 Crew Activities Report: Flight Day 7 Highlights
Today Discovery's astronauts begin preparing the spacecraft for it's scheduled return to Earth by checking out the flight control system and reaction control jets that support re-entry. Later in the day the astronauts begin stowing equipment used during the past week and start buttoning up on-orbit systems. The Ku-band antenna which provides most of the capacity for data and television relay was stowed around 8:45 p.m. The recently refurbished Hubble Space Telescope moves slowly through it's checkout sequence before resuming science operations. Both the flight control system (FCS) and the reaction control jets (RCS) were without issue, with all systems ready to support Discovery's return to Earth.

STS-103: Flight Day 6 Highlights and Crew Activities Report
Discovery's astronauts (Mission Commander, Curtis L. Brown; Pilot, Scott J. Kelly; Mission Specialists, Steven L. Smith, C. Michael Foale, and John M. Grunsfeld; and (ESA) Mission Specialists, Claude Nicollier and Jean-Francois Clervoy) deliver a Christmas present to the world, putting the Hubble Space Telescope back into service after 24 hours and 33 minutes of repairs and upgrades that make the orbital observatory more capable than ever. European Space Agency Astronaut Jean-Francois Clervoy uses the shuttle's robot arm to release the telescope at 5:03 p.m. CST, then places the arm into an upright salute as Commander Curt Brown fires Discovery's steering jets to begin separating from the telescope. The telescope's re-deployment takes place at an altitude of 370 statute miles as the two spacecraft fly over the South Pacific's coral sea northeast of Australia. At 5:39 CST, Brown executes a second steering jet burn, lowering Discovery's orbit slightly, so that it will begin orbiting faster than the telescope and move away at just under 6 statute miles per orbit. Afterward, each of the seven astronauts on board calls down holiday wishes from space in several languages.

STS-99 Crew Activities Report / Flight Day 11 Highlights
The primary objective of the STS-99 mission was to complete high resolution mapping of large sections of the Earth's surface using the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (STRM), a specially modified radar system. This radar system produced unrivaled 3-D images of the Earth's Surface.. The mission was launched at 12:31 on February 11, 2000 onboard the space shuttle Endeavour. The mission was led by Commander Kevin Kregel. The crew was Pilot Dominic L. Pudwill Gorie and Mission Specialists Janet L. Kavandi, Janice E. Voss, Mamoru Mohri, the National Space Development Agency (Japanese Space Agency) and Gerhard P. J. Thiele, from DARA (German Space Agency). The astronauts finished the mapping operations early on day 11, and then retracted the 200 foot long mast into its payload bay canister. The mast, the longest rigid structure ever deployed in space, supported the external antenna during the mapping operation. The videotape shows the mast folding into the canister. The final stowage was delayed when the three latches on the lid of the canister failed to engage as expected. After a few procedures were executed the mast canister was sealed, on the third attempt, as shown on the videotape. The video also contains several views from the STRM. They include a computerized animation of a flight from Pasadena to Palmdale, a still view of Fiji, a view of the San Francisco Bay Area, and another of Pasadena.
