Footage shows the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) against a backdrop of Earth. The grappling of the HST with the robotic arm is seen, and payload bay cameras show different angles of the HST in its deploy orientation. The deployment of the HST from the Columbia Orbiter is seen, followed by footage of the HST flying freely over the Earth's horizon. All seven crew members are gathered together during an in-flight interview as they answer questions about the mission, the experiences of being in space, and their lives as astronauts. Additional footage of the crew working during the deployment of the HST is shown. Duane Carey is seen interviewing Nancy Currie with Internet questions from young students. The video concludes with the view from Columbia of the Pacific Ocean, the coast of Northwestern Chile, and a sunrise.
