Service Mission 3B
Chapter
Abstract
When the crew of STS-103 returned home shortly after Christmas 1999 the planning for the “second half” of the third Hubble service mission was well advanced. It would attempt to complete what had originally been assigned to SM-3. The intention was that when Columbia, the oldest of the shuttle orbiters, returned from its upgrade period in California, it would fly the SM-3B mission prior to another solo research payload and possibly some post-assembly missions to the ISS. But suddenly there were doubts that Columbia would remain in service beyond 2002.
