Shuttle Atlantis has reached the Hubble Telescope and has began the preparations for 5 space walks scheduled for tomorrow.  From the BBC:

The shuttle crew completed a delicate dance of manoeuvres intended to align Atlantis' robotic arm with the telescope during their approach.

The arm was used to get hold of Hubble and draw it into the shuttle's bay.

Contrary to expectations that the telescope might look more dishevelled than on the shuttle's last visit, it appeared to be in good condition.

The observatory has been exposed to extremes of heat and cold as well as to cosmic radiation during its 19 years in low-Earth orbit.

At 1912 BST, Nasa controllers confirmed that Hubble had been safely berthed and secured atop a platform in Atlantis' payload bay.

Five spacewalks beginning on Thursday will upgrade and repair the telescope, which has suffered from recent equipment failures.

As noted in recent entries, this is a very dangerous mission.  Shuttle Endeavor is still on the launch pad ready to go in case something happens to Atlantis, a first in the history of NASA.  There is a large amount of debris and space junk in this lower orbit and the odds are about 1 in 229 that something will hit the shuttle.  Although those are not great odds if you were gambling, for a potential life and death situation those are uncomfortable odds at best.  I'll have another update tomorrow following the space walks.  Let's hope it all goes smoothly and they all return safe.
