STS-109
STS-109 (SM3B) was a Space Shuttle mission that launched from the Kennedy Space Center on 1 March 2002. It was the 108th mission of the Space Shuttle program,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Mission STS-109 )〕 the 27th flight of the orbiter ''Columbia''〔 and the fourth servicing of the Hubble Space Telescope.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Hubble Space Telescope: SM3B )〕 It was also the last successful mission of the orbiter ''Columbia'' before the ill-fated STS-107 mission, which culminated in the ''Columbia'' disaster. The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was placed in orbit during mission STS-31 on 25 April 1990.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Hubble Space Telescope: Deployment )〕 Initially designed to operate for 15 years, plans for periodic service and refurbishment were incorporated into its mission from the start. After the successful completion of the second planned service mission (SM2) by the crew of STS-82 in February 1997, three of HST's six gyroscopes failed. NASA decided to split the third planned service mission into two parts, SM3A and SM3B.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Hubble Space Telescope: SM3A )〕 A fifth and final servicing mission, STS-125 (SM4) launched 11 May 2009〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=STS-125: Final Shuttle Mission to Hubble Space Telescope )〕 The work performed during SM4 is expected to keep HST in operation through 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Hubble Space Telescope: SM4 )〕 ==Crew==
