In the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, STS-125 crew member Mission Specialist Michael Good points out part of the Flight Support Structure to Mission Specialist Andrew Feustel. The Soft Capture Mechanism is above him.

The mechanism will enable the future rendezvous, capture and safe disposal of NASA's Hubble Space Telescope by either a crewed or robotic mission.
