-Good morning, Atlantis,
and a special good morning to you today, Mike Good.
-Good morning, Houston, and thanks for lifting us up
even higher with that song this morning.
We're looking forward to going outside and working on Hubble.
Hopefully, that'll bring glory to the Lord of all creation,
and special hello to Joanie, Bryan, Jason and Shannon,
who I'm sure will be watching along with me today.
-And thanks a lot. We agree.
-And so the crew of Atlantis begins fly-day 5.
Today's waking music was "God of Wonders,"
and it was played for Mission Specialist Mike Good,
who along with Mission Specialist Mike Massimino
will complete the mission's second spacewalk today,
giving the Hubble Space Telescope brand-new batteries
and three brand-new Rate Sensing Units.
As the crew starts preparations for that spacewalk by Massimino
and Good, Commander Scott Altman
and Mission Specialist Megan McArthur
will conduct the inspection of the front-left portion
of Atlantis' Thermal Protection System in the area
right under the front part of the nose.
There's about 40 tiles that mission managers here in Houston
want them to get better imagery of.
Once those images are captured,
they'll be downlinked to the teams here in Houston
for analysis to make sure that Atlantis' heat
shield remains in good shape and ready for re-entry.
-Beautiful view, now looking back for the tail of Atlantis,
the Nile River clearly in view, the Sinai Peninsula,
the Mediterranean off to the right with Cyprus
in view there to the right-lower portion
of the Mediterranean in this view.
[ No sound ]
-Unlocked and coming unlatched.
Thermal cover blew open.
-That'll save you a step. -Okay.
The hatch is open and underneath the little thing.
-Wonderful. -Good job.
-Eighty-two bravo, airlock depress valve to closed.
-Okay, go.
-Okay, John, airlock depress valve closed.
And it is a beautiful day outside, and I see I'm clean
with my safety tether, Mike, with your safety tether.
You agree? -Okay.
Looks good.
-All right. Anybody home?
-Hey, Mass, you're looking great.
-Standby there.
-Mike Massimino, first out of the airlock.
He is beginning his third spacewalk
and third to service the Hubble Space Telescope.
He will be the free-floating astronaut
throughout today's EVA.
Throughout the spacewalks, the transparent number 19 down
in the lower-right corner will signal,
signify the view from Mike Massimino's helmet camera,
and number 20 will signal that that's the helmet-cam view
from Michael Good's helmet.
[ No sound ]
-Okay, Mike. Kind of big.
-Welcome to the wonderful world of working in a vacuum.
I have an RSU with your name on it waiting for you.
-Okay. I'm going to hop up in the arm.
-All right. -Copy.
-And Mike Good now in the foot restraint.
Megan McArthur in control of the robotic arm.
She'll be taking him back to a protective enclosure,
the small ORU, Orbital Replacement
Unit Protective Enclosure, referenced by the acronym SOPE.
He will be in charge of retrieving
the new Rate Sensor Units
and handing those off to Mike Massimino,
who will be mounted on a foot restraint inside the telescope.
-How you doing, Mike? -Good.
I'm coming down right over your head.
-Yeah. I see it.
You look good.
Megan, you've got about 2 feet from the boot plate
and the node. -Copy that.
-And stop motion. -Motion is stopped.
-John, I've got a tether on the RSU.
-Excellent. -Serial number 1004.
-Thank you. -And the module is coming open.
-The view from Mike Massimino's helmet cam,
watching Mike Good remove the first
of the brand-new Rate Sensor Units.
These 24-pound units are sized
13 inches long by 10 inches wide by 9 inches high.
He will be working off the end of the robotic arm,
transporting the new units up to the telescope
to assist Mike Massimino, who will be conducting
the removal of the old units that are inside Hubble.
-So I'll get my tether off,
and the handrails look as you described yesterday, John.
-Yes, it is.
And just a reminder to the both of you,
watch out for the lube on the bolts.
-Okay. -Mike Massimino's reflection
in the Aft Shroud of the Hubble Space Telescope
as he prepares to open the doors,
the protective doors over the Fixed-Head Star Trackers
and the Rate Sensor Units.
-That's a go. -Coming in.
-Okay, John. It's in sturdy, right down.
It is in.
-Good work. -Okay.
So the next will be the Mass insertion position.
-Sounds good, been waiting my whole life for this.
Okay, Mike. Just watch the RSU.
I'm going to back away, okay? -Get out of the way.
I'm going to stay right here.
-Megan, away 2 feet. -Coming away.
-How's that look, Mike?
-It looks perfect, Mike.
Great job. -Okay, Mike.
I show clear in front of me. -Okay.
I'm coming. -Come on across.
[ No sound ]
-Okay, Mike.
I'm going to wait right here for you.
-Okay.
You can start heading up if you want.
Megan, I'm ready to come on in.
-Copy. -Mike, I'm not going to go
any further until you're able to stabilize me, okay?
-Okay.
And, Megan, I think we need to come a little to my left
and into the telescope.
-Copy. About 6 inches left?
-Sounds great. -Copy.
-And, John, looks pretty cool in here,
and those neon lines might be interesting.
They look like they may be sticking out just a little bit,
but I think they'll be no problem.
-Okay.
Again, that's the same material as the...
-What happened? [ Chatter ]
-...that black?
-Yup, the black, and that's the neon line right there.
It's coming up in there with the funny-looking connector.
-Yup. [ Chatter ]
-Hopefully, it'll be below your position.
-Good. -All right, Mike.
I'm going to move your left swing arm in.
-Thank you. -Okay.
I'm right on you. I've got you in place.
-All right. You're my man here.
Coming in. -Okay.
-Slow. -And coming in slowly.
Okay, Mike. I'm moving in a little further.
-I've got your legs now. -Okay, moving in a little more.
Okay, Mike.
I'm going to try to do that roll.
You have me?
-I've got your legs. -Okay.
Now watch the Star Tracker, now. -Yup.
You're clear with your right shoulder.
-Okay.
Watch my upper body, now, cam two.
Okay, very good. All right.
Now I'm going to come up to the top station.
-Hey, Mike.
I'm just going to move your feet out over the first plate.
-Okay.
Can you move from my mini workstation
all the way down, Mike? I think it is.
-Yeah. It looks good.
-All right. -Okay, Mike.
Your legs are over the top of the first plate here.
-Okay.
-I think you can go in now, in and up.
-Massimino now being assisted by Michael Good
with positioning inside the Aft Shroud of the telescope.
You're looking directly at one of the Star Tracker shields.
-Just try and stay low. -Okay.
Move your right foot to the right.
-That's it. I've got your left foot now.
-Okay.
Your left foot is in, and the toe is in.
-All right. -Just rotate it up one.
Put your heel down.
Okay. [ Chatter ]
-That looks better. -Okay.
Back up just a little bit on the left.
Okay, there. Now just go upward.
I think you're in on the left. -It feels like it.
Can you verify? -Yup.
-All right. Go ahead.
-All right. Here's your right one.
Your right toe is in.
-Yes. -Bring your heel inboard.
-Okay. -Okay, now straight upward.
-Okay. How's that?
-You're in. -Okay.
The America Flag, John, is going under the appropriate station.
Mike, did you hear?
I can see the gap between the RSU and the plate,
and I can see the cable routing for P1 and P2.
-Excellent.
Standby while I flip the page and memorize the routing.
-I got it. -Okay.
Megan, I'm ready to maneuver.
-Copy. RSU 2R in our position.
-I agree.
-NASA, we had a go for RSU 2R in our...
Okay? -We have a go to de-mate
RSU connectors. -Okay.
I'm going to do D2 first.
T2 de-mated.
-Copy, T2 de-mated. -And, Megan, you're clear up.
-Copy, thanks. -T1 de-mated,
and they stay pretty much in position.
-Great.
And, Mass, if you look carefully,
there's a little engraving that says,
"Story was here," somewhere.
-Ah, you ain't going to fool me.
-That reference to Story Musgrave
as he was the lead space-walk crew member
on the first servicing mission back in December 1993.
He helped develop the technique of fitting up inside
the Aft Shroud of the telescope for this delicate task.
-...the telescope?
-And now looking from the opposite helmet camera,
this view from Mike Good
looking into the telescope at Mike Massimino,
positioned for the first Rate Sensor Unit change-out.
The unit of choice for the first change-out is RSU number 2.
-You can watch this thing. -Four inches.
-Yeah. I'm on the bolt.
-Yeah. That's good.
I'm in a good spot.
-Okay. There we go.
One, two, three, four...
...five, six, seven...
...eight, nine...
10, 11.
Now, Mike, I'm going to try to get my socket out.
-Okay.
-I'm going to pull it out real slow.
-Okay. -Okay.
It's off. -It's loose.
I've got it. -Excellent.
Going to attempt to throw the PGT?
-Okay. -I'm going to fold it up there.
-Affirmative. -Do I do settings now or not?
-After you get rid of the RSU 2 on that top handle.
-Okay.
Does that look all right, Mike?
-That's good. -Okay.
Okay, Mike. I've got it.
-All yours, very nice.
-And the first Rate Sensor Unit removed now from the telescope.
-I think that goes on...
Unlike the rest, and it goes on top of the MFR handle,
one adjustable, one red.
-Okay.
Factors are good, John.
No spots, looks great.
-So thread the 66 RSU 2R
into the Aft Shroud, connectors mated.
-Okay, Mike. The pads look good.
Okay. It's coming in, Mike.
-I see it.
-Good job.
-So seat the RSU.
[ No sound ]
-Mike Good now seating the new Rate Sensor Unit.
-Nice job, 66 coming off. -Perfect.
Mini workstation, keep to our left side.
-Copy. -And now the newly replaced Rate
Sensor Unit is installed.
The new unit only requires two bolts.
The next step is for Mike Massimino inside the telescope
to mate the two electrical connectors.
That will be followed by an Aliveness Test, covered...
Handled by the Space Telescope Control Center,
Operations Control Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
-RSU 2R connectors are mated. -Houston copies.
We'll put the Aliveness Test to work for RSU 2R.
-Thank you.
-The Aliveness Test that will get underway now
is simply to ensure that the new Rate Sensor Unit
is getting electrical power.
-Atlantis, Houston, 3VA, we have a good Aliveness Test in RSU 2R.
You have a go for RSU 3 change-out.
-Fantastic. We copy.
Go for RSU 3.
-Take us up. -All right.
First, it'll be Mass.
Then relocate 66 to mini workstation.
-Okay, Mass. I got your...
-Okay! -...I got your PLSS.
-All right. Okay, Mike.
I'm going for the handrail here, okay?
-Okay. -And...
-I got your legs. -Let's see.
I'm going to stay...
-Can you move? -I'm going to stay on this one.
Ready for the roll?
-Hold on one. -Okay.
I'm going to stay and wait for you.
-Watch your right foot by the RSU.
It's clear. -Okay.
You ready for the roll? -All right.
Ready.
-Here it comes. -Nice.
-Okay.
Do you want to get inside that other cable, or you all right?
-No. I'm okay.
There we go.
Okay. Okay, Mike.
I'm going to move my hand on the top handrail there.
-Okay. -Okay.
Let's see what's going on.
-And your feet are on the first plate here.
Left foot a little bit left. -Okay.
So I'll take your right foot in first.
-Okay. -Right toe is coming in.
-Okay. Heel in more?
-Okay, and now upward.
Keep up. -Okay.
Talk to me, Mike.
-Hold on. Okay.
Just try to keep your heel flat and bring it outward.
-That's in. -Nice.
Nice job, Mike. -Good?
Thanks, Mike. -Okay.
Your right... Your left toe is in.
Bring your heels inboard.
Bring it down and outward.
-Yeah. -Nice job.
-All right. Thanks for your help.
-Mike, I'm ready to maneuver. -Copy.
RSU 3R in our position.
-Okay. -Hey.
Leonardo da Vinci is under the top station,
and I got a good eye height.
-Excellent. We have a go for RSU change-out.
You can de-mate RSU connectors after memorizing their position.
-Okay.
I'm looking at the way everything looks here,
the RSU against the plate and the connector routing
and the connectors.
I'll de-mate.
That's T1, and there's T2. -Good job.
Next would be the left, and then we go.
-Okay.
-Two hours, 42 minutes into the spacewalk,
the crew members are having a little bit of trouble
seating the new unit into its plate
before being able to drive the three bolts.
-Yes.
This one feels different than the last one.
The last one, I was able to just put on a plate.
This one feels like it won't fit flush on the plate.
If I get... It's kind of rocking on it
as if there was something underneath it.
I just can't seem to get all three corners at the same time.
Does that make sense?
-And I know Mass described that it was hard to get off,
and I don't have a good feel for how much pressure.
If you have the diamond and the pin in the right position,
you may have to push in fairly hard to engage them.
The bolts should pull them in, though, if you're aligned.
-Yeah.
That may... I think that may be part of it.
-I think it might be that, you know, those pins
and diamonds are a little tighter than the RSU 2 side.
-Yeah. So...
That's what it feels like.
-Steve and I had a little trouble on this side as well.
-John Grunsfeld serving as the intravehicular crew member,
choreographing the spacewalk
from the flight deck of Atlantis,
referencing he and Steve Smith, astronaut,
who performed this exact task back in 1999,
the last time these Rate Sensor Units were swapped out,
noted that they had a little bit of trouble
seating the RSU 3 replacement back then as well.
The view from Mike Good's helmet camera
as he is being repositioned down to the protective enclosure.
He'll be stowing this Rate Sensor Unit.
This is the one that was on the telescope originally,
and since 1999, it's been removed.
He's going to stow that permanently and retrieve
the other replacement RSU for an attempt to install
that one in the number three slot,
Mike Massimino holding his position inside the telescope
at the install location.
The new unit that did not fit properly
has been stowed in a thermal bag.
That essentially protects it, thermally, as there is a clock
that essentially protects those units
thermally for the amount of time that they are not installed.
-Mike, coming in. -All right, Mike.
Let's get it.
Very nice.
-Megan, into the telescope about a foot.
-In 1 foot. -Ready?
[ No sound ]
-Motion stopped.
-Copy. Mike, that feels solid.
-Okay. -Does it look good?
-Looks good to me. -That definitely got it.
-Excellent. -Woo-hoo.
-Next...Do the next bolt. -Our hero.
-Yeah. That bolt is in.
Great job, Mike.
-I'm on the bottom-left now, John.
-Bottom-left.
-One, two...
three, four, five.
That one is in too.
-In. -My hero.
Good job, Mike, 007, double-crossed us.
-Aha!
-Well, maybe it'll fit in over here.
-Okay. Camera pull left.
-All right, good, John, that's good.
-Great. Great job.
-I'm going to stow my PGT.
-John, that one is just like the first one.
It was just right on, no issue, so now I suspect 007.
-Totally. -Six, six coming off.
I'm going to stretch you out a little bit.
-Good idea. -Okay.
I got your legs. -Okay.
I'm going to go for a lower standoff.
-Okay. -Are you ready for my roll?
-Ready. -Here comes the roll.
Okay, Mike.
I'm going to kind of turn and face the telescope.
-Okay. I got you.
-I got the boot plate. -Okay.
-Do you want to do your mini workstation?
-Yeah. Let me get that a little lower.
-Okay. -Okay.
-Good job, gentlemen. -Okay.
Now, Megan is going to take you back.
On the way, you can go back to 180.
-Ready for motion, right now? -Ready.
-Four hours, 25 minutes into the spacewalk,
the spare Rate Sensor Unit, a refurbished unit from...
that was removed during the STS -103 mission in December of 1999
is now in the hands of Mike Good,
heading back up to the telescope,
that from the contingency Orbital Replacement
Unit Protective Enclosure.
Mike Massimino down at that enclosure,
swapped the new unit that did not seat properly
with the spare unit that Mike Good now has in his hands,
headed back to the work site,
the Aft Shroud of the Hubble Space Telescope,
to attempt to install that in slot one.
-Excellent.
-At this point in the EVA time line,
the task is about an hour or so behind schedule
because of the problems trying to install the...
one of the Rate Sensor Units that did not seat properly
on two different mounting plates,
RSU slot three and RSU slot 1.
-And I know you know this, but when it's aligned
on those pins, it kind of sticks.
It's kind of sticky. -Yeah.
This one also feels like
it's sitting off the plate a little bit.
Two, three, four.
It's got just under four turns on the top.
-Good torque. -Fantastic.
You can stow your PGT on your mini workstation or T-bar.
-Copy, and I'm stowing on my T-bar.
-The spare RSU is now mounted to the plate
and two connectors to go.
These electrical connectors are the last two remaining items
to complete the installation of three RSUs.
-Thank you very much.
Okay, Mass, and right now, we're going to do our closure.
-Okay. -Mass, if you could go
to the right Aft Shroud door
and take care of the tether, take the tether.
-Oh, yeah.
We can't forget about that, can we?
-Video from Mike Massimino's helmet camera
as he and Mike Good
have completed the installation of the PIE harness
and are moving on to close the minus D3 shroud doors.
EVA officer Tomas Gonzalez-Torres
reporting flight director Tony Ceccacci
that the crew members are an hour
and a half behind the time line at this point
as they would move on to the battery replacement task.
-You're clear now. -What's that?
-you're clear now. -Yeah, I think it goes back
to [Indistinct] with the doors...
-[Indistinct] -Yeah, we're good.
-That radiator is crooked.
-Thanks. Tell me about it.
-Everybody is a critic. -Okay.
I'm ready to come to my left and into the telescope for the door.
-[Indistinct] if you can go get the left door.
-I will do that.
[ No sound ]
-Four and a quarter on 13, Drew. Good torque.
-Copy, 4 1/4 on 13. -Yeah, Megan, let's go up.
I'll call your stop. -Coming up.
-Massimino has engaged all of the bolts
on the old battery module,
the first five bolts on the new module,
securing it to the bay two door had been engaged.
-Motion stopped.
-This is the view from Mike Good's helmet camera
as he uses the pistol grip tool to engage the remaining J bolts
to secure that new battery module in place.
[ No sound ]
Atlantis now 352 miles above the southern Indian Ocean.
Payload bay camera views shows Mike Massimino
In and out of view at the bottom of the screen.
He's...
-...on two regarding solar ray slope.
-He's going to be removing the manipulator
foot restraint handle from the MFR
and handing it in the air lock to Mike Good.
Good is inside the air lock already.
-It was really great going out there with...
today for my first time.
Big thanks to everybody on the ground.
Incredible effort.
Dan, you really saved us.
Tomas, Christy, great effort, and everybody inside here
taking care of us, too, I really appreciate it.
-I'd like to echo what Mike said.
Mike, it was a pleasure going out with you,
and an on honor on your first EVA.
You did a great job.
There's about a million people to thank
for getting us ready for us using batteries.
A couple that come to mind though
are Kevin Matthews and Mark Jerose
helping us out up at Goddard, along with [Indistinct]
making sure that I stayed on the platform they built for us,
and Marian and 1,000 other people,
so thanks very much.
-[Indistinct]
Mass, you and Colonel Good, Bueno,
the service call on Hubble.
Those gyros are crucial,
and Hubble's batteries were getting old.
Batteries are included on this flight.
You did a fantastic job,
and when you're ready, come out to hard line.
-[Indistinct] going to hard line.
-EV4 going to hard line. -Hey, John, while I've got you,
I've got some great news to pass, again,
through the whole team's diligence efforts,
all the RSUs and the battery all passed good, functional tests.
[ Chatter ]
-Thanks, Dex. That's fantastic news.
-We could tell.

-Good morning, Atlantis,
and a special good morning to you today, John.
-Good morning, Shannon,
and good morning from everybody up here on Atlantis.
With all the curves that Hubble has been throwing us,
there's no question that we're all living
in the Hotel Cepollina,
and I was to give a special thanks to Ceppy
for providing us with all the tools
and all the training to give us the opportunity
to do our work on Hubble and get all our work done.
We've got [Indistinct] so far, the batteries,
the Wide Field Camera 3
and the SI [Indistinct] 8s.
We're looking forward to COS and ACS repair today.
-And we're also looking forward to that with you.
-This is mission control Houston,
and with that, flight day 6 begins for the crew of STS-125.
Our wake-up call this morning was "Hotel Cepollina,"
played for John Grunsfeld.
The band that performed it was Fuzzbox Pirahna.
You probably recognized the music as a take-off of
"Hotel California" by the Eagles.
This is in reference to Frank Cepollina,
who is the deputy associate director
of the Hubble Space Telescope development project
at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland.
-Drew. -Morning, Ray J.
-How you doing? -I'm doing good.
-What do you think about this EVA today?
-I'm excited today.
It's my second EVA of the mission,
and I feel good, a little tired.
Hands are a little sore, but nothing that's not expected,
and I'm ready to go and give it another shot.
-What kind of curves do you think Hubble will throw at you?
-I don't know.
It's been a day of surprises each day.
I thought it was only going to be the first day,
but we had a second day of surprises.
I'm sure today will be a third, but I'm not too worried.
We managed to sort of power through both days
and get all the tasks completed and objectives done,
so I'm excited about this.
-Okay. What do you think...
What's your challenge for today? What's the biggest challenge?
-Challenge for me will be, you know,
taking it nice and easy on the COS installation.
That's going to be a good one for us.
It's a big instrument.
It's going to be kind of neat just, like, holding
a refrigerator in front of me, so I'm excited about that.
That's going to be pretty cool.
And then helping John, you know, supporting John on the ACS task,
being the gofer, going up and down,
getting back and forth for tools,
that's going to be something [Indistinct]
-Well, let's see, COS is, like, the second
big instrument, buddy. Let's see.
You put in Wide Field Camera 3, right?
-Put in Wide Field 3, and COS is the second biggest.
I mean, Wide Field fest pretty good.
COS is a little different because I can't see anything,
but I rely on John to help me out,
and it's going to be fun.
It'll go well. -Okay.
Well, Matt [Indistinct] told me to get Wide Field Camera
3 in from the Space Telescope
Institute, and COS, those are the biggies.
-Those are the biggies, [Indistinct].
-It's all you, buddy.
-We're going to get them done today,
and then we'll follow up with ACS and STS and FGS
and the other battery, we'll be good to go.
-Okay. Make us proud.
-I will.
I want to say hi to Ari and Aden and Indy,
and thanks for watching.
Hope you guys are enjoying the show.
Love you.
-Thanks, drew. -Good morning, Ray J.
-Good morning, John. How you doing?
-Oh, doing great.
EVA three. -What do you think?
-Oh, I think it's going to go great,
but with all the curves that Hubble has thrown us so far,
we're prepared for the unexpected.
-Okay, and what do you think the real challenge is today?
What's the big challenge?
-We're taking out the Wide Field -- Sorry.
We're taking out the COSTAR today,
and given the problems we had with Wide Field
that it's been in the telescope since 1993,
COSTAR has been in since 1993,
I'm a little bit concerned that the A latch,
the latch that really holds it in tight,
or the B latch, which brings it up and down,
may be bound up the way it was on the Wide Field Camera.
-Yikes. -Yep.
-This time it's me loosening it, so I may have to exhibit
the feats of strength that Drew did on EVA one.
-Well, you know, from the flight deck here,
I think EVA one and two have been nail-biters.
I hope this one goes smoothly.
-I'm hoping it goes smoothly, too.
-Okay. You want to say hi to anybody?
-I'd like to say hi to Carol, Sara and Mason.
They're watching EVAs and enjoying it.
-Okay.
Great, John. Have a great day.
-[Indistinct] of the rotation.
-Atlantis, that's affirmed. We sure do.
-The 90-degree rotation of the Hubble Space Telescope
atop its flight support system is underway.
This will place the work site of choice forward
in the payload bay of Atlantis,
that work site the minus V2 side of the telescope,
the after shroud doors protecting
the corrective optic space telescope axial replacement
and the Advanced Camera for Surveys.
That will be the focal point for today's two major tasks
to swap COSTAR for the new science instrument,
the Cosmic Origin Spectrograph,
and also the repair work on the Advanced Camera Surveys,
which exhibited an electrical short back in January of 2007,
causing three of its observing channels to cease operation,
an intricate repair will be the highlight of the second task
to restore the ACS to full capability.
-John, you can open the thermal cover and egress the air lock.
-Okay. Thermal cover is open.
I'm heading out, Matt.
-All right. Come on out.
-Clear, John.
-Thank you, Matt. -Tether is clear.
[ No sound ]
-And, Drew, a reminder,
and we'll try to remind you again,
we want to make sure the MPP is on...
-I'll check.
-...before we hand out the handle.
-Okay. I'll check it again.
-And it's Houston, for EVA, you have a go
for COSTAR connector [Indistinct].
-Copy. Thanks, Dan.
Go for COSTAR connector [Indistinct].
-John Grunsfeld on his seventh spacewalk,
all seven in search of Hubble Space Telescope servicing tasks.
He performed two EVAs, his first two EVAs were on STS-103,
the flight of Discovery
to service the Hubble Space Telescope
on the third servicing mission in December of 1999,
and he performed an additional three spacewalks
on STS-109 in March 2002 aboard Columbia.
-The gates are closed.
The hook is locked, and my reel is in the unlocked position.
-Are you ready for me to egress? -Ready.
-We're ready inside, Drew. -Here I come.
[ No sound ]
-Welcome back out, Drew.
Welcome to space part two.
[ No sound ]
-Okay.
Your safety cover goes up and over the arm.
-Okay. That sounds good.
-If you turn left, that'll be good.
Yep, turn left. -How's that looking?
-It looks good. -The tethers are clear.
Do you want me to take a look at you?
-Yep. Let me get this tether stowed.
-Okay. -I think I'm going to end up
moving it to the other side.
I have to keep moving my mini orb station
to get too many tethers today.
-It's dark out here. -How's my visor?
-Visor is good, Drew. -Thanks, buddy.
-Task complete. -Okay, Drew.
Let's go down and get the bottom lock.
-And, Megan, to go down and you have clearance down.
-Copy. Coming down.
-Up close and personal with Hubble Space
Telescope, Drew Feustel.
This view from his helmet camera.
He will be distinguishable by the number 20
in the lower right corner of his helmet cam view.
-He's already opened the top latch.
Two more latches to go to open the aft shroud doors
protecting the COSTAR instrument
as well as the Advanced Camera for Surveys.
-Okay.
When I went by, you did a great job yesterday.
It looks good. -Okay.
And you can release four five A-site latches.
-Okay. Thanks, man.
-Simultaneously with Drew Feustel's work
to open the after shroud doors,
John Grunsfeld is preparing to open the axial science
instrument protective enclosure,
which is located midway down the payload bay
just in front of the telescope
on the orbital replacement unit carrier.
-And whatever else, Megan... -Yes, the wrist camera.
-I'll do the lean back and look up.
Okay.
-Megan, we can move to away from the telescope and start right.
-Copy. Coming away.
[ No sound ]
-Yeah, shroud doors coming open
at 41 minutes into the spacewalk.
-Got that door, John? -I've got this door.
-And, Megan, no more away. Right only.
-Copy. Right only.
-[Indistinct]
-John, next to you will be the [Indistinct]
-Okay. -Stop motion, Megan.
-Motion stopped.
-Can I have the Y-harness restraint tool for me?
-Affirmative.
-John Grunsfeld moving the Y-harness for COSTAR
out of the way.
His next steps will be to demate the four connectors
to COSTAR, P1 through P4.
-P3 has demated. -Copy, P3.
-P4 is demated. -Copy, P4.
-P1 is demated. -Copy, P1.
-All right. P1.
And then P2 is demated.
-Copy, all four connectors are demated.
John, this is the note we've been waiting for.
-Standby. -Grounds trap clipped.
MLI flap is only taped to HST.
-How would we know that? -John, I've got your foot.
-Okay. Thanks.
-The Corrective Optic Space Telescope Axial Replacement
instrument to the left inside the aft shroud.
The Advanced Camera for Surveys to the right,
it will be the next task after removal
and replacement of the COSTAR
with the new Cosmic Origins Spectrograph.
This phone-booth-sized instrument
has been inside the telescope since December 1993.
-Okay. I'll try and fit in there.
It's giving me a lot of room, so that's good.
-One hour and 8 minutes into this spacewalk
thus far by John Grunsfeld and Drew Feustel.
You're looking at Feustel on the end
of the shuttle's robotic arm in a foot restraint.
He'll be removing the COSTAR instrument with the [00:49:27:
00] >assistance of Megan McArthur
operating the shuttle's robotic arm.
-Clockwise two. -Come in, bravo.
Standby.
-I'm ready, Drew. -Okey dokey.
-Yeah, you guys know the drill.
Let's remove COSTAR. -Okay.
Megan, let's start moving out.
-Copy, Drew. Coming out slow.
-Hey, John, if you can hold the B light steady
when you see it.
-B light [Indistinct] is on.
-Thank you. -COSTAR is free,
and now it's ready to be removed from the telescope.
Installed back in December 1993
to correct the spherical aberration
that was detected in the telescope's mirrors
after its initial deploy in 1990.
COSTAR has completed its job, all the new instruments,
including its replacement,
the Cosmic Origin Spectrograph have been designed on the ground
to account for that spherical aberration.
It's about 1/2 inch of margin with the COSTAR
and the guide rails you see there
at the bottom of the instrument.
The instrument is 86 inches tall.
That's about -- a little more than 7 feet in length,
3 feet square on the other dimensions
and weighs about 800 pounds.
-Pick up the rate, Megan. -Copy, increasing the rate.
-COSTAR is now free of the Hubble Space Telescope
by the minus-V2 aft shroud work site.
-That wasn't me. -Nope.
-Clearance up. How far out are we?
-You're about 2 feet out and clearing.
-Okay.
-Continue, Megan. -Copy.
Continue.
-And John Grunsfeld now inspecting the opening
where COSTAR resided.
This is the same location of course
that the Cosmic Origin Spectrograph will occupy.
He's ensuring that the connection cables are out
of the way for the installation of the new instrument.
[ No sound ]
High above the Congo,
Drew Feustel now maneuvering the COSTAR instrument
down to the temporary stowage location
where it will remain until the new instrument is installed,
freeing the protective enclosure for COSTAR's installation
for the return trip home.
-Okay.
-A unique view from John Grunsfeld's helmet camera
looking forward to the after flight deck of Atlantis
as he faces the long end of the protective enclosure
with the new Cosmic Origins Spectrograph instrument,
which soon will become a permanent fixture aboard
the Hubble Space Telescope just above and behind him.
-Come in now. -Okay.
-And another inch down. -One more inch down.
-From the elbow camera on the shuttle's robotic arm,
about midway down the length of the arm,
a view of John Grunsfeld in the bottom center of the picture,
the red stripe up on his backpack
as the free-floating astronaut,
and Drew Feustel with the Cosmic Origin Spectrograph
in hand on the end of the shuttle's robotic arm,
moving in to position for installation.
-[Indistinct] left.
-Got the whole up against the bottom
left [Indistinct] bottom left.
-Bottom right? -I'm sorry, Drew.
Bottom right.
-Thanks, [Indistinct]. -Bottom right.
The part I'm looking at.
-Okay. -I know it can be...
-It's on my left, but that's the right.
-Okay.
[Indistinct]
peek and get out of your way.
And, Megan, let's go [Indistinct]
more in, come down 8 inches.
-Copy. Coming down 8 inches.
-Let's come down a full foot. -Copy.
Down 1 foot.
Motion stopped.
-Another 6 inches. -Six inches down.
-Yep.
-And Drew, we see your head clear.
-Okay.
John, I'm starting to push it in again.
-Okay. -Motion stopped, Drew.
-[Indistinct] Okay.
-The Cosmic Origin Spectrograph now in the telescope
ready for final bolting and connecting of the...
or mating of the electrical and data connections.
-Nine. Not moving up anymore.
-Waiting for over center. There's over center.
-Eleven and a quarter.
I'll tell you about torque in a second.
The tool is upside down.
Mass, and the little [Indistinct]
rotated as it's supposed to in the downward direction.
Good torque.
-Great job. Excellent.
-COS is in there. -[Indistinct]
-Probably an eighth of a turn. -Excellent.
-Next will be, John, for you to stow the [Indistinct]
-[Indistinct] Okay.
I'm ready to come out of the telescope.
-Copy. Coming out the telescope.
-And, Drew, you're... -The A latch is now complete,
both latches fully engaged,
and the COS is now bolted permanently
to the Hubble Space Telescope.
Next will be to connect four connectors,
the data and electrical connectors, P1 through P4.
That will be accomplished by free
floating astronaut John Grunsfeld.
At 11:22 a.m. Central Time,
the report from the Space Telescope
Operations Control Center,
a good aliveness test on the newest science
instrument for the Hubble Space
Telescope, the Cosmic Origin Spectrograph.
Drew Feustel with the old instrument, COSTAR,
which has completed its job after 16 years in the telescope,
being carefully placed in a protective canister
for the return trip home.
-Do you want to go back
to the right at all, or you like that?
-Oh, I can lock the guide blocks from here.
-Okay. Fair enough.
-We got clearance. -Fair enough.
It's a really tight fit.
-Okay. Stop motion.
-Motion stopped.
-Three hours, 23 minutes into the spacewalk,
as the crew members continue their preparation
for the second and final planned task for this spacewalk,
a very intricate procedure to swap out some electrical cards,
essentially some computer cards
that failed due to an electrical short
inside the Advanced Camera for Surveys,
which sits exactly next door
to the newly installed cosmetic observatory,
the spectrograph that was just installed and now verified
to be checked out at least from a connection standpoint,
so that's the good news from the Space Telescope
Operations Control Center,
which is now in the process of saving ACS
ahead of the actual work that's going to be done,
primarily from John Grunsfeld, who is in a foot restraint,
mounted just inside the aft shroud of that work site.
-John, go ahead with the 9-inch and the 14-inch.
You can retrieve those from the bag and break torque
on all of that group.
We're going to retighten one, 28 and 29.
-Good work.
-Drew, the faster capture plate will be next to you.
-Copy.
-Now that the grid cover is removed,
the next step will be to install a fastener capture plate,
a specially designed piece of equipment
to allow for capture of the 36 or 32 non captive fastens
and four guide students so that they do not float away.
This plate was designed to fit neatly over the screws
so that when Grunsfeld removes them completely
for the early part of this task,
you see that he is essentially just loosening those,
and the plate, once installed,
will allow him to completely remove those screws,
and since they are non-captive,
to avoid any foreign object debris in the telescope,
even these tiny screws.
This plate will capture those screws
when they are removed completely,
that will gain access to the...
Essentially all of this work
will gain access to the actual work site,
which is the electronics cards that need to be replaced
that failed due to a short circuit back in January of 2007.
-How do they feel, John? -So far, so good.
-Guys, you guys missed Australia during the night pass,
but we should be coming up on Hawaii up on our left here
in just a moment.
-You're very cruel, Bueno, a very cruel guy,
didn't know that about you. -And for you, John,
you should be looking at ACS. -Yeah, I can see Hawaii.
-Can you really? -Yeah.
-That's awesome. -The small...
like, the last island.
Last two, one, two, three, Hawaii.
-Awesome. -Next one and Maui, Maui,
the next one over.
Fantastic.
-Wow.
-Shuttle to Houston.
[ No sound ]
-The fastener capture plate now removed,
having done its job of capturing the 32 tiny screws
inside the protective enclosure.
-Okay, John, sounds good,
and the elevator drop locks are fully retracted?
-Thank you. Yes, they are.
-And the tool has a ground strap on it?
-And the tool has a ground strap on it.
[ No sound ]
-And the card-extraction tool being secured to the CEB,
or the charge-coupled device electronics box.
-Card one is out. -Nice.
-I heard that. -Have a good night, John.
Nice job. -Nice job, John.
-Takes a few more turns to get it out of the connector,
not that it matters.
The slide lock is in the four card.
The slide lock is engaged. -Okay.
Copy number one is in the bag, so to speak.
-Okay. I'm going to reset.
-Now he's resetting the index on the side
of the extraction tool to the number-two slot,
and he'll repeat this task four times to remove all four cards.
-And it's Houston for EVA. -Go ahead, Houston.
-Yeah, Bueno, you guys are tracking
wonderfully on the timeline here,
at least 40 minutes ahead as I'm sure you're well aware.
As an award for all your hard work,
you have a go for ACS completion.
As appropriate, that's on 7-153. -Great.
Dan, we're looking forward to that.
Thanks for that early call,
and we'll press ahead here with ACS completion.
Have three caps in the trash bag, Bueno.
-Okay, John. Copy that.
Before you retrieve the TFR
and articulating socket from the aft shroud,
we have some wireless video requirements.
-Okay.
-If you could just get to look at the CEDR,
low-voltage power supply and the cable route one last time.
-Okay.
Let me see if I can maneuver a little better.
Low-voltage power supply.
-Okay. We can see that nicely.
-And now up to the CEDR. -Okay, John.
That looks good.
Then, Houston, do you like those views?
-Atlantis, Houston. We sure do.
Thanks very much.
-This is a view from the forward end of the payload bay
on the port side looking...
-Megan, could you move the arm left 3 feet?
-...looking at the...
-Three feet. -...open minus-V2 shroud doors
as John Grunsfeld and Drew Feustel
get set to close those doors.
They've completed the installation
of the new Cosmic Origins Spectrograph
on the left side of that open area
and completed both parts of the repair task
of the Advanced Camera for Surveys.
-Okay. Stop motion.
-Motion stopped.
[ No sound ]
-And, John, if you'd like to see it this time around,
we're going right over Hawaii.
-Okay. Thanks.
-You come look over the right-arm side.
-Do you see it? -Other side, John.
-Oh, the -- I'm upside down.
-Like right in the Air Force. -I'm heading that way anyway.
-All right, John.
It's on your left. -Oh, yeah.
That's great.
Yeah, I can see the Gemini Observatory
and Keck, Keck 1 and 2 on the Big Island.
Yeah, NASA, yes.
-So, John, does that make up for the last one?
-Yeah.
-Are we even? -Let's wait for ACS functional.
I'm kidding. Much better.
-Now spacewalkers John Grunsfeld and Drew Feustel
are closing the minus-V2 shroud doors.
-They look even, left and right.
-Space Telescope Operations Control Center
has reported to Mission Control in Houston
a good aliveness test on the Advanced Camera for Surveys.
-Copy, the handle and the pit pin is in.
-Megan, away from the telescope 1 foot.
-Away 1 foot.
-And, John, if you're clear, I'm going to move left.
-Going to move left? Okay.
-Good. -Atlantis, Houston for EVA.
We have a good aliveness test on ACS.
-Woo-hoo. -Ah, that's unbelievable.
-Believable.
-I'm hoping for 1 1/2 electrons or less.
-Nice work, guys. Congratulations to you,
John and Drew, for a great effort,
and I know it was made possible by all the folks
who really put a plan together in record time to save ACS
so our thanks to them as well.
-[Indistinct], Scooter.
[ No sound ]
-Okay, John. You can ingress.
-Cool. Cool.
I'll see you inside.
-John Grunsfeld now floating into the air lock,
Drew Feustel already inside.
-Come on in.
[ No sound ]
-And, Drew, the SC is going to be next.
-Okay.
Trying to find that tunnel.
There it is.
I just want to say one quick thing.
We started off this morning with "Hotel Cepollina"
because of where we're living on orbit on Space Shuttle Atlantis,
and I think because of both cost and especially ACS
is due to all the diligence of all the people
who live in that Hotel Cepollina and made the fantastic tools
and fantastic techniques that we use today
and, of course, the inventive minds
that developed the CVR technology
borrowed from the next-generation telescope,
the James Webbs Space Telescope.
It was all fantastic and enabled us to do our work today.
Thanks very much.
-Atlantis, Houston, for photo TV.
-Go ahead with photo TV.
-You guys are looking great in the air lock,
great job today to John and Drew.
Hopefully, they're not as tired as they have been in the past.
We're wondering if you guys have had a chance
to look at photo TV O5 for the minus-V2 survey.
-Yeah, that's what I'm doing right now.
-Great, Ray J. Thanks very much,
and you got the notes when we'd called up earlier.
Is that correct?
-Yeah, seven and nine is what I copied.
-That sounds great. Thanks, Ray J.
-This live camera view is from the mid-deck of Atlantis,
looking through the hatch into the air lock
where spacewalkers John Grunsfeld and Drew Feustel
are getting out of their space suits
after today's 6-hours -36-minute-long spacewalk
that concluded just a little over 1/2 hour ago.
That's Grunsfeld out of the hard upper umbilical,
the upper torso section and floating into the mid-deck.
Grunsfeld's partner today and 2 days ago
and 2 days from now, astronaut Drew Feustel,
who now has two spacewalks under his belt
and almost 14 hours outside, 13 hours,
56 minutes in space-walking time for Feustel
on his first space shuttle flight.
Today's spacewalkers with astronaut Megan McArthur,
who's the primary operator of the robotic arm
during today's spacewalk,
now shaking hands with Mike Good,
who shared the intravehicular officer activity duties
with his fellow spacewalker, Mike Massimino.

-Good morning, Atlantis,
and a special good morning to you today, Mike.
-Hey, thanks, Shannon.
It's great to hear that song by fellow New Yorker Billy Joel.
I know it's coming from my favorite fellow New Yorker,
my wife, Carol, the love of my life.
Thanks so much for that, Carol, and for my kids as well,
my wonderful children, Gabby and Daniel.
I appreciate the song. I appreciate all your support.
You're in my heart and mind always,
and I can't wait to see you in a few days.
Thanks very much.
-This is Mission Control Houston,
and flight day seven begins for the STS-125 crew.
This morning's wake-up music was for Mike Massimino.
It was Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind."
Of course, Mike Massimino from Franklin Square, New York,
getting ready to conduct the mission's fourth spacewalk
along with Mike Good.
They're going to reach outside of Atlantis
and see if they can wake up the Space Telescope
Imaging Spectrograph,
one of Hubble's main cameras onboard.
[ No sound ]
On the mid-deck of Atlantis,
Drew Feustel along with Mission Pilot Greg Johnson
and EVA-er today Mike Good in the foreground,
already in his liquid-cooling garment.
They've just completed communications checks
through their communications systems
as part of their EVA preparation activities.
Greg Johnson has been performing the task
of following along in the checklist
to make sure they don't miss anything
in the 90-minute procedure
to get astronauts ready for spacewalks.
Swapping the view to the outside
so that the team can follow along
with the rotate of the telescope.
This will be a 90-degree rotation of Hubble
to present the proper work site forward.
You're looking at the minus-V3 side of the telescope,
the aft shroud area,
the focal point of attention for the EVA number two,
the change out of the rate-sensor units,
the gyroscopes for the telescope that are used for stabilization,
just above those, the brand-new Wide Field Camera 3.
[ No sound ]
Looking down into the payload bay
from the shuttle's robotic-arm-elbow camera,
now the payload-bay camera looking across at Mike Massimino
as he prepares the manipulator-foot restraint.
[ No sound ]
-Everything still looks secure on the MFR handle.
The socket caddie, the sockets are all in there
and get the little locks on them.
Mike, you let me know...
Get yourself steady and let me know when you're ready for this.
-Okay, Mike. I got a weight setter on...
-Okay. -...out here.
Going to come down, get the tether ready.
-Okay. -Mike, I'm going for ingress.
-You got it.
[ No sound ]
-Bueno, before you put that last foot in,
your tether comes around
and then wraps around your left foot again,
so if you just kick your left foot back
and then bring it on the inside...
yeah, one more time.
You got it.
-Thanks, Drew.
[ No sound ]
-Okay. I'm in the boot plate.
I'm ready for the MFR handle, Mike.
-Okay. You need to come down.
Come down. We want to do this real slowly.
-Bueno, your right heel is still out.
Better. That's good.
[Indistinct].
-Okay.
If you need to move the arm, ask Drew to move it.
Not sure if he can...
or if you need to do something a little bit...
-He got it. -You still trying to get in?
-I'm in. -Okay.
-And you're a little lower.
Do you want me to take that out, Bueno?
-No, it's fine. -Okay, Mike.
I've got ahold of it.
-I'm going to let go, Mike. -Okay.
Thanks.
-Okay. It's all Mike.
-Ready to go, Bueno? -Ready.
-And, Drew, I'll go for the PPT next.
-Copy. -Mike, did you want to do
a last check of safety tethers before you go?
-I think that's a great idea, and, Scooter, stop motion.
-I can't see so well in the... -Coming to stop.
-...darkness actually, but yeah,
I can see you're on there and locked, and...
-Okay. -...I'm not sure
if I can turn myself towards you very easily.
-I can see your safety tether coming off your left side.
It's clean, and I see it be locked.
-I'm sorry? -I see you locked.
-Thank you.
[ No sound ]
-That socket is pretty long, Bueno.
I think it's in the knee there. Okay.
Scooter, ready to come on down.
-Copy, coming down.
-Mike, I'm above you, coming down.
-Okay. I think I'm going to...
may let Mike do that at this point.
-Mike, I got it. -Okay.
Okay.
Mike has it, and his tether is on it.
I'm closing the lid.
Only one latch necessary, right?
-One latch only. -Okay.
Mike has got it.
-Hey, Mass, if you're complete, you're off to BAPS pins.
-Okay.
-And, Scooter, I'm ready to maneuver up.
-Okay. Here you go.
-Nice job, Mike.
-Likewise, Mike. Sorry.
[ No sound ]
Okay.
Drew, the jaws have locked on the fastener-capture plate.
Okay.
Drew, double-check the jaws are locked.
We've got a tether on it from the board.
I think I'm going to spin back around towards the telescope.
-Copy.
Jaws will be next.
Mass waiting on the [Indistinct].
-Easily. -Copy that.
You're headed for retrieval of the 90-degree.
-Okay. I'm right there.
Thanks. -Okay.
Drew, I'm ready for the doors. -Okay.
AFR is going to be first on the bottom.
Settings, are you ready?
-Standby. -Okay.
-Drew Feustel inside Atlantis' flight deck,
looking out the aft windows.
He'll be the intravehicular or the space-walk choreographer
from inside for this task.
Close-up view of the Hubble Space Telescope
work site by the helmet cam on Michael Good
as he looks down into the payload bay at the bottom,
working the Berthing and Positioning System post,
locking that into place to provide additional stability
to the telescope during the work.
He's down there in the bottom of the payload bay.
-Counterclockwise two. -Counterclockwise two.
-Twenty-three decimal five. -Okay.
Straight into the publish position.
It'll be about 50 inches. -Okay.
It looks like I need to come to my left
about a foot and down about a foot.
-Drew, I've got the 90-degree. -Copy, Mass.
Center TA is next.
-Okay.
-Couple more inches.
And stop motion.
-Motion stopped.
[ No sound ]
-Okay. Drew, going for nine turns.
-Copy. -Okay.
Up to Charlie, man.
-Okay. -Okay.
I'll get this one just up a couple,
up about a foot, Scooter, and to my right.
-Copy, up and right.
-No more up.
Just right.
Stop motion.
[ No sound ]
ATM coming open.
I'm cracking it, but everything seems to be secure.
I'll open it all the way. -Sounds good.
The order will be guide,
set caddie onto your swing arm first.
-Copy. -[Indistinct].
-Okay. Drew, seven turns on the handle.
-Copy.
The right door is open, Bueno.
Got to check right, Bueno.
-Yeah, I got it. -Okay.
-Think they want it to come open.
-I think they did, too. -Okay.
Scooter, let's come away from the telescope 2 feet.
-Away two.
[ No sound ]
Motion stopped, Bueno.
-Copy.
-Left door is open. -You're not going to...
-Mike Massimino in a foot restraint
inside the aft shroud of the telescope.
Michael Good on a foot restraint
on the end of the shuttle's robotic arm.
The fastener capture plate visible there
on the end of the miniworkstation
or the work stanchion on the foot restraint
up to the upper right,
near the upper backpack of Michael Good.
Next step is to use a clamp-removal tool to assist
with the removal of that yellow handrail you see.
That handrail is obstructing the attachment
of the fastener-capture plate to the work site.
-We've engaged the slide lock. -Guess what.
It fits.
-That's awesome. -Mike, up to Mike.
-Bottom levers or bottom stanchion is on.
[ No sound ]
-The top half of that handrail was freed
by the fasteners being released very easily.
The lower one, one of the fasteners did not come loose,
and Mike Massimino used essentially brute force
to remove the handle at the lower portion.
It is now free and carefully stowed away.
Now they're basically in the process
of conducting some tool management
before they get back into the task.
-Okay. Mike and Drew,
we're going to put this one in on the right-hand side.
Mike, I don't know if you're able to stabilize me at all,
but if you can, I'm going to make it flush.
It is flush.
Keep it flush [Indistinct].
I'm going to turn a quarter at a time.
-Looking good, Mass. -Quarter, just only.
-Yeah.
-Three quarter, one, 1 1/4, 1 1/2.
Seems real steady. It took about 1 3/4.
-It look real flush? -It looks flush to me.
Does it look flush to you?
-Don't think I can tell, Mass.
You got the best eyes on it.
You got the most, so...
-It looks flush to me, man.
I'm going to pull that one off.
-Okay, that's good.
-One, 1 1/4, 1 1/2, 1 3/4.
I'm going to tighten her up a little bit, about 1 3/4.
-Okay. It look flush?
-It's flush.
Okay, that one is flush. All right.
-Mike, these are a little tricky from what John described.
-Okay.
I've got good two hands on the board here.
Use your hand to guide it however you want.
Improve the orientation if you like.
-Got it? -Okay.
-Take my tether off.
-Good idea. -That's all yours.
You got it? -I have it.
-And Mass, good news, the sun is coming up.
-Ah, all right. Okay, Drew,
we're going to be careful with the back of this thing.
You're not going to knock anything off.
I'm going to go in very easy on the left,
a game of Operation again.
-Yep, looks pretty aligned on the right.
-Okay, I'm going to go left.
Okay, feel good left.
I'm looking on the roll on the right, and -- Hold on.
The ground strap is caught behind it.
There, we come out.
Let me try again.
Coming left.
Okay.
Okay, left and right looks good.
Now, we were suggesting not to do the one.
We'll do the one on the lower left last, correct?
-Do the one on upper left last. -Upper left last.
Okay, so I'm going upper right, right now, Drew.
-Massimino is now trying to... -I don't know, so...
-...get the fastener... -Yeah, we got to...
Okay let's try to lower it first.
-...capture plate in the proper position.
-It's a little better than last time,
but I still don't see black.
-Huh. -But I think it's the gasket.
I think the gasket is kind of keeping it off.
-Okay, we're looking at a picture.
We think one option would be to take it off completely
and flip it over
and try to roll that edge of the gasket outboard,
so you can get it to sort of deform and stay outboard,
and Houston is going to comment on that.
We know there's sharp edges on the back of the board,
but we don't believe they're... We think Mike can manage them
as he's trying to roll back that gasket.
-Massimino is checking the gasket on the back side
of the fastener capture plate
to determine if there's any interference
before he tries to reseat the plate
onto the main electronics board cover plate itself.
-I've got a real good black line on the lower right, Mike.
-Yeah.
-On the upper right here, I can just see the band of black.
I really can't see it sticking out,
but I can see a little band of black, right.
-Yeah. -If you compare that to here,
I really don't see any black.
-Right. -And on the lower left,
again, it's a band of black.
-I can see it on the left, yes.
-I think that's as good as we're going to get this thing.
-And it's Houston. Great description by Mass there.
We copy and understand.
We're happy with the current configs, with the removal.
When we get the cover off, then we'll want to snug all four.
-The next step is to start driving after the CG label
is cut to free that small area,
the fasteners underneath that small area,
and they will press on with the release of all of the fasteners,
totaling 111.
-All right. -Okay.
-The fastener capture plate in place,
and it is designed to do just that,
to capture these noncaptive fasteners
as he releases them one at a time
from the main electronics board cover plate.
-The battery power is off here. -Yeah, let's turn that on.
-Let me turn the battery on. Yeah, lean back a little bit.
There you go.
-Counterclockwise, on. -Great, thank you.
-Okay. -Counterclockwise.
We got a nut loose.
Wait a minute. Standby, Mike.
The tool is not fitting, and it looks like -- It is.
The power is off.
-Doesn't look like it's going to work.
We have a spare.
-Let's just double check all of this one more time.
-To Houston, Atlantis for EVA,
any reason why we should be getting a green light
and no function on the PGC?
-Drew, we're scratching our head.
We don't believe so, and we're still talking a bit about it,
but we copy your last about the spare in the air lock.
-A couple of challenges throughout this spacewalk,
which is approaching 4 hours in duration,
including the removal of a handrail
that would have blocked the access for installation
of that fastener cover plate you see installed now,
awaiting Mike Massimino's return with a new mini power tool.
While he's in the air lock, Mike Massimino
is going to hook up to the service
and cooling umbilical in the air lock to recharge the O2,
or the oxygen, in his suit.
That usually takes only about 5 minutes or so
while he's in there.
O2 is the limiting consumable in his suit,
and that can be recharged at any time through this service
and cooling umbilical in the air lock itself.
Mike Massimino now heading back to the telescope
as is Michael Good on the end of the robotic arm,
back to the task at hand to repair the Space Telescope
Imaging Spectrograph.
[ No sound ]
-A1 is complete. -Copy, A1.
-A2, complete. -Copy, 2.
Bueno?
-Yeah? -The tether is caught sort of
on the edge of the door, and it's pulling the door in.
-Yeah, I see it. -A3.
-Copy, 3.
-This thing wants to come off, okay,
so I'm going to pull it off a little bit.
[ No sound ]
Yeah, we're still stuck over here on something.
I'm going to get the top one here now
and figure out what's going on.
-Okay. -Okay, Drew,
I got the top left in good shape.
Top right and lower right are still...
So now we got all the base through,
and it just seems to be kind of caught.
Okay, it's loose now.
-I see it. Good job.
-It's loose, and I think
we're in good shape as far as the...
-Yeah, I see the wires. -...safety goes.
-Okay, just a second, Mike. Let me get my hands ready.
-Go really slow. -Okay.
-That's good.
Stop. Stop.
-Stopped. -You know where to cut it.
-And it's clear in the video now, Mike Good
is on Massimino's left side,
reaching in with the cutters to clip two bundles of two wires,
which will make the cover fully detached
from the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph.
-Nice. -Good job.
-Spacewalkers have stowed the main electronics box
cover along with the fastener capture plate.
They're not moving on to replace the low-voltage
power supply card to finish up the repair
to the STIS instrument of the Hubble Space Telescope,
now 5 hours, 47 minutes into today's spacewalk.
Massimino has installed the card tool
and getting ready to put the proper settings
on his pistol-grip tool to use the drives
in that card tool to [01:40:38:05]>loosen
and then remove the old low-voltage power supply card
before installing a replacement.
Mike Massimino is translating back to the STIS
to the installation position.
Mike Good is holding the new main electronic box cover
and standing by to hand it over to Massimino.
-I'll get it back open.
I see you've got the bottom two latches ready.
Okay, it's grounded and tether Mike.
You can release yours.
-Okay. All yours.
-Okay, thank you.
-Going to need to come up just a little bit on the left, Mike.
-Yeah, okay. Thanks, Mike.
-Okay, that looks better.
-Ready? -Okay, so I'm out.
-Got it. -Okay, close the locking pins.
-Closed.
-Houston, I'm sure you're listening.
The immediate cover is installed.
-Houston copies. We had great video as well,
so nice job.
-I'm thinking I want to bring these guys in
at the end of this task.
Do you guys concur? -Yeah, no, you bet.
We didn't want to bother you
over the middle rest of the comm there,
but yeah, that's exactly our thinking as well,
and we can discuss with you later
about your thoughts on tomorrow, some...
-Sounds good, or can I come back in 1 foot?
-...options we might have for during partial,
two partial NOBLs, or...
-Into the telescope 1 foot. -...we've actually told Altman
that we'd be very happy to hear your thoughts on the matter.
-Okay, we'll sure talk about that after we get
these guys inside tonight, but we're thinking...
John and I were talking about the same thing,
and I think the guys outside have done an outstanding job,
and we're going to be very proud
when they come in at the end of this.
-Okay. -You bet.
-Mike Massimino and Mike Good have installed the new,
low-voltage power supply in the STIS
and put the new cover on the electronics box.
Mission Control in Houston has given the Space Operations...
Space Telescope Operations Control Center
a go to begin its commanding for the aliveness test
to the STIS with this new power supply in place.
Houston has also confirmed for the crew and the spacewalkers
what they had been thinking about all along,
and that is that the plan/task to
install the New Outer Blanket Layer
on bay eight today will be waved off.
-Okay.
-And spacewalkers John Grunsfeld and Drew Feustel,
who are to go out tomorrow, have been given a heads-up
that they may be asked to take on the installation,
or at least a partial installation, of that NOBL.

helmet camera view
as he's closing the plus V2 shroud doors.
A moment ago, Mike Massimino showing Houston
his left glove area
that he described as a small hole
as a cloth in the palm with white showing underneath.
That video, of course,
looked at closely by the folks here in Houston,
and EVA notes that Massimino's suit
is still holding pressure just fine,
and we're into cleanup, a decision to press on.
There's no need for Massimino to end the EVA early.
[ No sound ]
-Mass and Bueno, I just want to,
while you're closing the doors here,
tell you what a great job you guys did today
and how proud we are of you and also the fact
that I want you to take a look around
because your spacewalk with Hubble
is about to come to an end.
We're bringing you in as soon as you close the doors.
-Okay, thanks, Scooter.
It was magnificent.
It's great to work with the world going by,
and being out here with a good friend, Mike
Good, is a pleasure. What have you got, Mike?
-Those are good words, Mass.
It is really awesome to be able to be out here, doing it.
The NBL is great, but this is completely awesome out here.
A lot of work, but well worth it.
-True.
A real privilege to get to see what we're seeing
and get to work on this magnificent machine.
Couldn't be any more grateful for the opportunity.
-It's Houston with a bit of news from the STOC if you're ready.
-We are definitely ready.
-We're all happy to report that STIS has come back
with a good aliveness test.
-Whoo!
-Hi, I'm Scott Altman,
commander of STS-125, and you're watching NASA TV.

-Good morning, Atlantis,
and a special good morning to you today, Scooter.
-Good morning, that's a great wake-up.
I'd just like to say thanks for that song.
I do miss waking up to the sound of my wife's voice,
so thanks to you, Jill, also my family,
Daniel, Alex and Michael.
I look forward to hearing the sound
of all your voices when we come home.
It's a great day here in space, looking out the windows,
and we're looking forward to a great EVA.
Thanks so much, Houston.
-This is Mission Control Houston.
Today's wake-up music:
"Sound of Your Voice" by the Barenaked Ladies.
The song was played for Commander Scott Altman,
as Altman and his crew began their 8th day in space,
and two astronauts, Drew Feustel and John Grunsfeld,
get ready to perform a spacewalk on the Hubble Space Telescope
for the last time.
-How's it look out there, Drew? -It looks dark.
-Anybody you want to say hello to?
-Yeah, I'd like to say hello to everybody watching,
my family, and I'd like to say
a special happy birthday to my father-in-law,
Vijay Bhatnagar, up in Cornwall, Ontario.
Wish him a warm, sunny and enjoyable day.
-Outstanding. Here comes the sun, Drew.
-Great. Where am I headed?
-Port sill. -Mission specialist Drew Feustel
making his way out of the shuttle's air lock
to begin his third spacewalk of the mission.
Feustel will be wearing the all-white space suit today,
which is how you'll be able to distinguish him
from mission specialist John Grunsfeld
who will be wearing a space suit marked with a solid red stripe.
Feustel and Grunsfeld will be working on...
-I'm tethered to the handrail.
-...replacing the second set of batteries,
these batteries in the telescope's bay
three for the first step of their spacewalk
and then later working
to replace one of three Fine Guidance Sensors...
-Good check, Drew.
-...and then adding some insulation
to the space telescope.
-...to the arm. -Okay, it can work.
-We're getting video now from
the spacewalker's helmet cameras.
You can tell the difference between the two views
by the numbers embossed
in the bottom-right-hand corner of the screen.
Mission specialist Drew Feustel's view
is designated with a 20,
and mission specialist John Grunsfeld
will have a 19 in the bottom of his screen,
and there's mission specialist John Grunsfeld
making his way out of the air lock now.
-Payload is done. -You're good.
Tether up over your helmet there.
Yep. -And as you can see Grunsfeld
is wearing the suit with the solid red stripe.
-This is a nice setup.
Okay, tilt it back I think.
-If I just tilt it out all the way.
-Yeah. -Got it?
-Okay, let me get a tether on it.
-Okay.
Yep, come this way.
-You're tethered. -Got a tether.
The gate is closed. -And you got your hand.
I'm going to release mine.
You got... -Okay, thank you very much.
-All yours. Thank you.
-Ready to maneuver, John? -Ready to maneuver, Megan.
-Here we go.
-Bueno, I'm headed for the back. -Copy.
-As you can see, mission specialist John Grunsfeld
is not safely on the shuttle's robotic arm,
which is being driven by mission specialist
Megan McArthur inside the shuttle's cabin.
You can see mission
specialist John Grunsfeld's helmet camera...
-Length of eleven. -...looking directly at the bay
three that he'll be working in to replace the batteries inside.
-Bravo, bravo, five, Victor, 1.5.
-Directly to the left of it is the bay two...
-One point five and bravo [Indistinct].
-...where Mike Massimino and Mike Good
replaced batteries during the second spacewalk of the mission.
-...to be a yaw of 12.
-While Grunsfeld is working here at bay three to open the doors
and get access to the batteries, mission specialist...
-Okay, if we could go out.
-...Drew Feustel is working at the super-lightweight,
interchangeable carrier to...
-To the right, three turns now on the lower bolt.
...prepare the new battery.
-Okay, how many turns am I now doing?
-On the others, it takes six turns nominally.
-Okay, thank you.
One, two.
The lower left is open.
Megan, if you could take me up to the top bolt.
-Top bolt. -And as you do that,
to my left about 4 inches, please.
-And left 4 inches. -That's good right there, Megan.
-Motion stopped. -Okay, good cal, good LEDs,
41 decimal three, two on the battery.
Megan, away from the telescope slowly.
-Slowly away. -Only about 1 foot,
and that should be able to clear the door.
-Copy. -Four on two, Bueno.
-That's plenty. -Motion stopped.
-Thank you. -Copy, four and two.
-T1A has demated.
It is demated.
-Grunsfeld reporting that he's got the six
electrical connections demated on the P3 battery module.
-One, four. Bolt six is out.
-Copy, five and six.
-That bolt is free, Bueno, and the battery is releasing.
-Copy.
-Oh, nice silhouette on the door.
[ No sound ]
What a beautiful spaceship we're on, guys.
-View from mission specialist John Grunsfeld's camera,
now holding both the new and the old batteries,
getting ready to hand the old back to Drew Feustel
and then make his way back to the telescope's bay
three to install the new.
-John, on your way, can you inspect the connectors.
-I did.
The connectors look clean, no spots.
-Copy, and Houston, are you happy with the wireless views?
-And it's Houston. We're happy with those views.
Thanks.
-Thanks, Houston, and, John, you have a go to close the door.
-Hey, Megan. Could you move me to my left?
-Coming left. -Go ahead, Dan.
-Yeah, Bueno, happy to report good aliveness test
on the bay three battery.
You have a go for the L12 steps and step 13, your column.
-Copy and go on 13, my column.
Thanks, Dan.
Good torque in that lower bolt.
-Say again, turns, John. -Three turns, I think,
is what I took out of it. -Okay, copy.
Three turns, get to work on the lower bolt.
Sounds great, John.
Really nice work on batteries, guys.
Aliveness test is good, as you heard,
so we're on our way here today.
FTS is next.
-I have PTP settings when you're ready, John.
-I am ready.
-Alpha four. -Alpha four.
-Counterclockwise two. -Counterclockwise two.
-Twenty-three decimal five.
-Hello, John.
-Hello, Drew.
Megan, you can start taking me in.
Five, six.
I stopped at a little over six because I can see
that the stop bolt is up against the pivot nut.
-Good job, John.
Okay, let's see if we can get that other latch bolt to behave.
-Okay, I'm just going to pop this one out.
I don't want to touch it with the grease.
Okay, it's out of the bathtub.
-Copy. Okay.
-Flying across the Texas coast,
headed across the Gulf of Mexico,
the two astronauts 2 hours,
2 minutes into today's final spacewalk
to service the Hubble Space Telescope.
-That's a great job. -Want the aft, John?
-[Indistinct]. -It flipped.
Looks like until flipped.
-Give it a good push while you -- Yeah.
-That looks like the... John, go out.
-Yeah, John, go about. -Until flipped, man.
-Until flipped at 38.
-Houston, Atlantis for EVA.
-Go ahead for EVA.
-John's going to try again with the EVA ratchet
in the setting of 38.
I'm looking on page 16-55, Dan.
Step four says, "A latch fails to disengaged."
I think that's where we are.
We would need to use the contingency MTL,
which is luckily on the tool handle today, if you agree.
-Yeah, we copy, and we concur with that.
-Per the procedures, to break the torque,
they'll switch to the torque limiter,
an extra additional tool
they have on the tool caddie on the...
-Yep.
-...stanchion as part of the portable foot restraint
on the end of the shuttle's robot arm.
-Oh. The bolt socket came off...
in the hardware on the post.
You can stop there. -[Indistinct].
-I'm going to try and do it without extending it.
-Yeah. -I think I can do that.
Megan, you may get some slippage.
-Copy. -Oh, no.
Slipping. -Copy.
-[ Speaking indistinctly ] -Copy.
-And it's Houston for EVA.
-All right. Give it.
Go ahead, Dan.
-Hey, Mass, so you have a go to remove the contingency MTL,
and we just want to make sure that John applies to the torque
to the ratchet straight through the socket smoothly
and evenly as opposed to a sharp impulse.
-Yeah. Copy, Dan.
Good words, so that will be the next step
as opposed to what I'm looking at for step two.
-Okay. -Yeah, that's affirmed.
-Thanks, Dan. -Deja vu.
-Okay, John, did you copy Dan's words?
-Yep, thanks. Megan, can you go away 3?
-And look into all that... -Coming away from the telescope.
-You know this well, John, but of course,
you know, try to make it smoothly
and try to avoid an impulse if possible.
-Roger that. That's good, Megan.
Stop there. -[Indistinct].
-Free-floating astronaut for today's spacewalk Drew Feustel
on his third EVA or third spacewalk,
and John Grunsfeld and a foot restraint
on the end of the shuttle's robotic arm
on this third spacewalk of this mission as well,
his eighth spacewalk in total.
-...a ratchet and brought it up here.
-Yeah, well...
-He's swapping out the multisetting torque limiter,
and he'll attempt, once again, to basically...
-This will work.
-...use a direct-drive approach to break the torque
on the A latch that holding the fine guidance sensor
in the slot on the telescope,
but in this view, just around to the right side,
the quadrant is the plus V3 side of the telescope.
-Do a check on the short adjustable.
-Okay, it's synergized in the [Indistinct] direction.
-Want to come left a little bit, or is that good?
-I think that's good.
I'm going to reach across. -Oh, okay.
-And then use my bicep.
Okay?
Good to go, man.
-Go ahead, John. Good luck.
I think you got it.
-Something happened? -I think you got it.
-Yep. -Okay.
-And it's blue when you jump it. -I'm going to go.
-I'm going to go for a full half turn.
-Very good, John. -All right.
Dave, come about.
I put the 38 back on.
What do you think? -Sure, let me -- Yeah, John.
You're going to need that when you get down to the aft side.
[Indistinct] -Okay.
Megan, would you take me back out, please.
-Back to our regularly scheduled programming.
-There we go.
-Can you call my boot clamps for me?
-Yeah, I see a foot and a half.
-I can see good clamps on your boot plate.
How much closer do you need to get?
-Thank you.
Give me a couple more inches, if you would.
-Copy. -Okay, that's about there.
-First step.
-Hold it there, John.
[ No sound ]
-I see the rupture.
-If you could clear the first roller out.
-Maybe on the way back in, we'll start you a little higher.
-Okay, yeah.
Take my clamps out. -Okay.
Put that near end down slightly.
There you go, tight. You're coming out.
Now you're having to lift the telescope mirror.
It's got about 6 inches to go.
-Is the mirror clean? -Not yet.
-Close, it's coming through the opening.
Is it clean?
-Yeah, I mean, it's clean, very clean, very clean.
-Good, good.
-The mirror is now clear, just coming outside the telescope.
-Okay.
-You are clear to continue and increase the rate of...
-Yep, you can increase the rate, Megan.
-Copy. Picking up the rate.
-What a beautiful view. -Yeah, we got some good shots,
including IMAX footage...
-Excellent.
I was worried about that coming down.
-...in 3-D -John Grunsfeld being maneuvered
on the end of this shuttle's robotic arm by Megan McArthur
to temporarily stow the fine-guidance sensor
just removed from the telescope.
That sensor will be returning home once the new FGS
is installed in its place on the telescope.
-[Indistinct] FGS site.
-Roger, I see you at the F site.
Please open to let it through, three latches.
-Through Feustel now down
at the fine-guidance sensor protective enclosure.
He's opening that enclosure to expose the new replacement unit.
-Yeah. -Wow.
And you can even let go it.
-Yeah, that's pretty amazing. -Okay, stop right that.
-John Grunsfeld assisting with the final connectors
on the port,
or the left side, of the new fine-guidance sensor.
-That one is kind of tight.
There's a lot of pins, [Indistinct]
-AE6.
-Socket is clean.
[ No sound ]
-Tether is clear.
-You can let go, John. -Okay.
-At 3 hours, 21 minutes into the spacewalk, 10:41 a.m.,
the new fine-guidance sensor connections are complete.
The new unit is now installed in the telescope.
[ No sound ]
-Megan, you can start down the release.
-Copy, coming down slow.
-Looking good, John. -Thanks.
-The mirror is level at the top of the...
at the grid.
-At the top lip.
-This is mission control Houston,
the great news from the space
telescope operation's control center.
They've had good aliveness test on the newly installed,
fine-guidance sensor.
That task is complete.
The crew also was given the good news to press on
to complete the final task of the Hubble servicing mission.
That is to install three outer blankets
on three of the equipment bays
above the aft shroud area of the telescope,
the order of preference,
bay five, bay eight and then bay seven.
-It's going to be 90 left. -Drew Feustel,
the free-floating astronaut
at the base of the Hubble space telescope,
the stowage location for these new outer-blanket layers.
The insulation has degraded somewhat over areas
of the telescope.
Several of these have been installed
on previous servicing missions.
Today, the final task of the final EVA of the final
Hubble servicing mission sees the installation
of three more of these outer-blanket layers
to protect the equipment bays on the telescope.
The equipment bay is located
just above the aft shroud of Hubble,
where all the of the science.
