Title: Hubble's expanded capabilities following the Servicing Mission
Abstract: The fifth Hubble Servicing Mission was conducted by Space Shuttle Atlantis in May 2009. Following months of orbital verification and calibrations, HST is back in business with greatly expanded capabilities. Max Mutchler supported the repair of the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) and subsequent calibrations, and also the Early Release Observations (ERO) for both ACS and the newly-installed Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3). He will share his knowledge of the early performance of Hubble's cameras, with particular insights for scientists considering proposing for the "new" HST.
