In Columbia's cargo bay, astronaut John M. Grunsfeld, payload commander, signals to a crewmate inside the crew cabin. Astronauts Grunsfeld and Richard M. Linnehan (out of frame), mission specialist, participating in the first of their STS-109 spacewalks to service the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), went on to replace the giant telescope’s starboard solar array in a seven-hour spacewalk on March 4, 2002.
