The right tools can make any job easier, and that will be especially true this week when the Hubble Space Telescope gets its last tuneup.
When space shuttle Atlantis blasts off Monday on the final flight to Hubble, the astronauts will be carrying 180 special tools, and 116 of them were designed just for this mission, which involves tricky repairs to two science instruments that were never intended to be fixed in space. Liftoff is scheduled for 2:01 p.m. EDT.
