STS-109 (SM3B) was a Space Shuttle mission that launched from the Kennedy Space Center on 1 March 2002. It was the 108th mission of the Space Shuttle program, the 27th flight of the orbiter Columbia and the fourth servicing of the Hubble Space Telescope. It was also the last successful mission of the orbiter Columbia before the ill-fated STS-107 mission, which culminated in the Columbia disaster.

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was placed in orbit during mission STS-31 on 25 April 1990. Initially designed to operate for 15 years, plans for periodic service and refurbishment were incorporated into its mission from the start. After the successful completion of the second planned service mission (SM2) by the crew of STS-82 in February 1997, three of HST's six gyroscopes failed. NASA decided to split the third planned service mission into two parts, SM3A and SM3B. A fifth and final servicing mission, STS-125 (SM4) launched 11 May 2009. The work performed during SM4 is expected to keep HST in operation through 2014.

Patti LaBelle: Way Up There (Columbia Space Shuttle Tribute) (04:56)
Grammy winner Patti LaBelle singing "Way Up There," Tena Rix Clark's song originally written for NASA's Centennial of Flight observance in 2002, at the memorial service for the crew of the destroyed space shuttle orbiter Columbia's final mission, STS-107. The service took place at the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, USA on 6 February 2003. The video intercuts scenes from the memorial with footage of the doomed astronauts before and on their final flight. I absolutely defy you to watch this and not bawl like a newborn, as I did.
