    The Hubble’s exterior surface design includes 31 strategically placed slots for mounting the Portable Foot Restraint. The PFR provided astronauts with a stable worksite platform for service mission tasks. Michael Soluri photographed the PFR and many other Hubble EVA tools during his visits to the Goddard Space Flight Center, where most servicing training took place.
