Space Shuttle Mission 61 was the first repair mission of the Hubble Space Telescope, lasting from December 2 to 13, 1993. The mirror on the telescope, which had been put into orbit three years earlier, was faulty, resulting in blurry images. Astronaut Kathryn C. Thornton, seen in the foreground, participated in 2 of 5 outboard operations. During this mission, they installed the COSTAR system and the WF/PC-II camera, which successfully corrected the main mirror flaw. Kathryn C. Thornton spent a total of 975 hours in space, 21 hours being outside the spacecraft. Astronaut Thomas D. Akers can be seen at the bottom left. Swiss astronaut Claude Nicollier took part in this mission and was responsible for operating the robot arm.
