UNIDENTIFIED CNN ANCHOR: The astronauts hauled the Hubble into Discovery's cargo bay earlier today with the help of its Canadian cargo arm. Tonight will be the first of four planned spacewalks to swap out non-functioning and outdated equipment and replace it with new instruments. The improvements are meant to help Hubble focus even deeper into the universe.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You can see here how Steve Smith on the arm is actually using the arm to open that door. He grabs the handle, and asks the arm operator to take him out of away from the telescope, and that is the way he opens the door. So in that ways it is easier to move the arm than to move the suit itself.</s>JOHN HOLLIMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Until now, no human has seen the telescope for three years, when astronauts left it after the last repair mission. So, astronomers, engineers, and ground-based managers want to go over every square inch to find out how life in space, 300,000 miles above the Earth, has effected Hubble.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And you will be glad to know that all the commanding has been done through the new DIU, which you just finished installing. So, complete success. Good work. Great hands, Mark.</s>HOLLIMAN: The result of this should be a more efficient operating telescope, which can bring to Earth even more pictures, like the ones that made the telescope famous.
