STS 109 this mission was Columbia's final flight before she was destroyed. On this mission they installed new cameras on Hubble, installed Hubble's solar arrays and replaced Hubble's electronic heart. When these spacewalks were done this crew would not see Hubble again until STS 125.
3 of the STS-109 crew members flew again on STS-125 (Mike Massimino, John Grunsfeld, and Scott Altman). Grunsfeld is the only person ever to fly to the Hubble Telescope 3 times (he previously flew on STS-103 as well).
The footage of the STS109 crew in the cockpit during reentry kind of reminds me of the footage of the STS107 crew in the cockpit during reentry a few minutes before the Columbia disaster

That's why I chose this particular video. I want to remember Columbia doing her thing successfully.

Its sad knowing that this is the final successful mission of the orbiter Columbia

❤ grazie bellissimo documento.
Unlike most astronauts, I feel like I know a little bit about Mike Massimino after he guest starred on "The Big Bang Theory" a few times.
This was the last successful flight of columbia I believe
That is correct, cdsxbox. Columbia's last successful flight,
