" According to Discovery.com, the Atlantis space shuttle made a safe landing on Sunday\u2013though not at their home dock in Florida due to area thunderstorms.  The fifth of five missions to repair the 19-year-old Hubble Space Telescope was wildly successful\u2013the 1 billion-dollar overhaul estimated to keep the telescope running for another 5 to 10 years without human interaction. According to the site, this was the last trip NASA would take to the shuttle, as NASA&amp;#039;s 3-remaining space shuttles are slated for retirement next year. So what did they do up there? Discovery says: They gave the observatory new science instruments and fixed two others, and replaced batteries, gyroscopes and other aging parts. Looking to the future: According to the site, the Hubble will be moved to the Pacific in the early 2020s; a docking ring was installed by Atlantis Commander Scott Altman and his six crewmates in anticipation for that specifically.
