PIX4649122: Decolation of the space shuttle Atlantis. 05/2009 - STS - 125 lift - off - Decolation of the space shuttle Atlantis with the crew of the mission STS-125. This 11-day mission aims to maintain the Hubble space telescope. May 11, 2009. Space shuttle Atlantis roars into the cloudy sky above Launch Pad 39A at Nasa's Kennedy Space Center in Florida on the STS - 125 mission. Blue cones of light, mach diamonds, can be seen beneath the engine nozzles. The mach diamonds are a formation of shock waves in the exhaust plume of an aerospace propulsion system. Atlantis will meet with Nasa's Hubble Space Telescope. Liftoff was on time at 2:01 p.m. EDT. Atlantis' 11 - day flight will include five spacewalks to refurbish and upgrade the telescope with state - of - the - art science instruments that will expand Hubble's capabilities and extend its operational lifespan through at least 2014. The payload includes a Wide Field Camera 3, fine guidance sensor and the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph. May 11 2009 / Bridgeman Images
