Atlantis Links Up To Hubble For RepairsSpace Shuttle Atlantis has finally caught up with the Hubble Space Telescope after following it for several hours. The "link up" between the Space Shuttle and Hubble was a very delicate one as the two were flying through space at 17,200 MPH, 300 miles above the Earth's surface. The robotic arm of the shuttle grappled the telescope at 1:14 PM EDT today. The telescope will be latched to a high-tech, lazy Susan device known as the Flight Support System for the duration of the servicing work.
