Scientific paper

In the last issue of the Bulletin (No. 76, November 1993), I reported on the final preparations for the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) First Servicing Mission. Now happily, it can be recorded that the Mission has been an outstanding success, achieving, and in some cases surpassing, the hopes of all of the participants. The four EVA astronauts, with dedicated support from the ESA astronaut Claude Nicollier, who operated the Remote Manipulator System (the Shuttle's robotic arm), completed all planned tasks within the five scheduled days without needing to use any of the contingency days built into the overall programme.
