STS-125 Mission Polo ShirtOur STS-125 mission polo shirt is absolutely sharp! This polo is black with white trim on the collar and sleeves. It features a 4-inch STS-125 logo embroidered on the left breast. The red trim around the logo makes it really pop and stand out. This polo is a high quality Harriton, 100% cotton pique polo. The STS-125 mission is scheduled to launch this October and will be the fifth and final servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope. The mission will be flown by Space Shuttle Atlantis. Atlantis will carry two new instruments to the Hubble, in addition to a replacement Fine Guidance Sensor, six new gyroscopes and batteries to allow the telescope to continue to function at least through 2013. The crew will also install a new thermal blanket layer to provide improved insulation, and a soft-capture mechanism to aid in the safe deorbiting of the telescope by an unmanned spacecraft at the end of its operational lifespan.
