These images show its first mounting on the secondary hub in the f/15 position. It will be used to hold the wavefront sensor and a prime focus imager. Images by Maud Langlois. Preparing to hoist the hexapod, Shawn Callahan roosts on the hub. The crew gets ready. Dennis Smith rides in the man-lift while JT and Shawn wait at the hub. The Hexapod arrives at the hub.
