While in orbit around Earth, the crew of STS-109 aboard the Columbia Orbiter will service the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in five extravehicular activities (EVA). In this video, prelaunch activities are shown including the positioning of the astronauts in their seats prior to liftoff. Liftoff is also shown, as is the escape flight. A comment is also made concerning the announcement shortly after liftoff that there was restricted flow in one of two freon loops in the Orbiter's radiator.
