00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,493
Fifteen years ago, a remarkable mission 

2
00:00:03,493 --> 00:00:05,584
unfolded above the Earth.

3
00:00:05,584 --> 00:00:09,453
 The Hubble  Space Telescope, humanity's eye on the universe,  

4
00:00:09,453 --> 00:00:11,489
received an unprecedented upgrade

5
00:00:11,489 --> 00:00:14,760
during its fifth and final Servicing Mission.

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,177
In May 2009, a brave team of astronauts

7
00:00:18,177 --> 00:00:22,149
embarked on a daring journey aboard Space Shuttle Atlantis.

8
00:00:22,149 --> 00:00:25,280
Their mission? 
To breathe new life into Hubble,  

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:30,120
ensuring its legacy of discovery 
could continue for years to come.

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,367
Over the course of five intense 
spacewalks,

11
00:00:33,367 --> 00:00:35,400
they replaced aging components,

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,719
installed state-of-the-art instruments,

13
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:40,640
and rejuvenated Hubble's capabilities.

14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,032
The impact was profound.

15
00:00:43,032 --> 00:00:45,205
Hubble's vision 
became sharper,

16
00:00:45,205 --> 00:00:48,009
its reach extended deeper into the cosmos,

17
00:00:48,009 --> 00:00:51,880
and its scientific 
output soared to brand new heights.

18
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,436
Fifteen years later, we continue to celebrate 
the remarkable

19
00:00:55,436 --> 00:00:57,960
success of Servicing Mission 4, 

20
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,334
a testament to human ingenuity,

21
00:01:00,334 --> 00:01:05,000
perseverance, 
and the enduring spirit of exploration.
