The STS-82 crew poses for a traditional in-flight portrait following completion of five spacewalks to service the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in February 1997. Both the sign held by the crew and their apparel pay tribute to HST and its team of ground supporters. Pictured left to right are Joseph R. Tanner, Steven A. Hawley, Mark C. Lee, Kenneth D. Bowersox, Steven L. Smith, Scott J. Horowitz, and Gregory J. Harbaugh. Each astronaut is wearing a shirt bearing an image of a celestial body photographed by the giant observatory.

Steven L. Smith, STS-82 mission specialist assigned to three extravehicular activities (EVAs) to service the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), gets help with the final touches of suit donning by an Extravehicular Mobility Unit (EMU) technician. Minutes later, Smith was underwater in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) at JSC and neutrally buoyant, rehearsing some of the HST servicing tasks with a crewmate.
