Good news indeed!
BTW: A repair in 1993 and in 1999 was (partly) conducted by "our"
Swiss astronaut Claude Nicollier:
STS-103 Discovery (19-27 December 1999) was an 8-day mission. The
primary objective was the repair and servicing of the Hubble Space
Telescope (HST), in particular the replacement of six gyroscopes
which are necessary to meet the telescope`s very precise pointing
requirement. During this spaceflight, Nicollier carried out his first
spacewalk (EVA), of 08:10 hours duration, to install a new computer
and one of three fine guidance sensors. He is the first European to
obtain EVA experience on a Shuttle flight.
Cheers,
Peter
