After four Hubble gyroscopes had failed, the mission was moved forward so astronauts could restore the observatory’s ability to point accurately.

Hubble was released from Discovery’s payload bay on Christmas Day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/1666\/5175\/files\/discovery-nasa-mission.jpg?v=1793928107\" alt=\"Astronaut Steven Smith working from Discovery's robotic arm during STS-103\"\u003e\u003cfigcaption\u003eSTS-103 spacewalk imagery · NASA Image and Video Library. \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/mission\/sts-103\/\"\u003eExplore NASA’s STS-103 mission history\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe artifact\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe removable specimen jar contains a small, genuine piece of payload bay liner that flew aboard Discovery on STS-103.
