Soon after the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) was put into space by Colombia, it was discovered that the main mirror had a spherical abberation which ruined its resolution capability. Another shuttle mission took a repair team to adjust the CCD light gathering equipment to compensate for the abberation. We have the best pictures of our breathtaking universe because of it.

space shuttle columbia brought it up.
the bay hatch opened, and a robotic arm on the space shuttle gently pulled it out and put it in space.
