During one of the mission's five spacewalks, astronauts swapped the Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR) device for the new Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS). COSTAR is the device that corrected Hubble's original blurred vision during the first servicing mission. Since all of Hubble's instruments after that point were designed with the correction built in, COSTAR is no longer needed. COS is designed for ultraviolet spectroscopy and will be used to study such areas as galaxy evolution, the formation of planets and the rise of the elements needed for life, and the cosmic web of gas between galaxies.
