-Hi, I'm Scott Altman, commander of STS-125,
and you're watching NASA TV.
-All right. Let's go.
-Go Atlantis.
-Yeah. -Woo!
-And here are the astronauts now walking
out of the astronaut quarters boarding the astronaut van.
-Woo! -Woo!
-Mike!
-Got Altman now climbing on board.
Here he comes through the hatch onto the flight deck
from the lower crew cabin.
We're joined now here in firing room
four with astronaut Janice Voss.
Once you're on board, and as we're seeing here,
they're helping them strap into their seats and things,
and is everyone very preoccupied with the activities
they have to do to get ready for the launch at this point,
or are they thinking about more about what's coming up on orbit,
or what's the mind-set when you're getting ready to be...
when you're being strapped in getting ready to go?
-A little bit of all of the above.
There are duties that you have assigned that change with time,
and so you're thinking ahead to make sure
that you're ready for the next thing you're supposed to do.
You also have a process you have to go through that includes
com checks that you need to get done in a smart fashion
so you don't slow up the time line,
so right now, they are very focused on just the seat stuff,
but as soon as you get in your seat,
and they move onto the next person,
then they're listening to all of the communications that come in,
all the ground launch sequencer stuff that's going on
and trying to monitor any issues that might be rising,
might affect what they'll be doing next.
-Atlantis, launch director.
-Atlantis, ready to copy, launch director.
-Okay, Scooter, look. It's a great day to go fly.
On behalf of the KC processing and launch panel,
I'd like to wish you and your crew
and the whole Hubble Space Telescope
team a great mission, good luck, Godspeed,
and we'll see you back in here in about 11 days.
-From the whole crew, Mike, I just want to say thank you.
All I can really think is that at last,
our launch has come along.
It's been a long time coming.
I know it took the work of the entire team
across our entire agency to bring us to this point.
Looking back, it's been 50 years
since President Kennedy challenged us
to do the other thing
not because it was easy but because it was hard.
Getting to this point has been challenging,
but your team, the whole team, everyone has pulled together.
We're taking a little piece of all of us into space,
and at this point, all I got left to say is,
"Let's launch Atlantis."
Thanks so much.
-Thank you, Scooter, and enjoy the ride, pal.
-OTC is go for orbiter. Access arm retract.
Atlantis [Indistinct] upgrading the HST to increase
our knowledge for light-years to come.
-OTC, Atlantis copies.
We're looking forward to it, and we'll give it our best.
-Twenty.
-And also a check of the SRBs, firing chain is armed.
Sound pressure water system armed.
T-minus 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5,
4, 3, 2, 1, and liftoff of Space Shuttle Atlantis,
the final visit to enhance the vision of Hubble
into the deepest grandeur of our universe.
-Bypassed across the board, Scooter, no action.
-Houston now controlling Atlantis on its way.
All three engines now throttling down as the area begins...
the vehicle passes through the area
of maximum dynamic pressure.
-Atlantis, Houston, no action on the MPS [Indistinct].
-Houston, we copy, no action.
-Atlantis, go at throttle up. -Houston, Atlantis copies.
Go at throttle up.
-Seven miles in altitude.
Altitude: 49,000 feet.
Flight control team discussing the minor transients
that were seen at liftoff.
All three engines are in good shape.
The vehicle is headed downrange.
All three hydraulic systems in good shape
as are the fuel cells.
Atlantis is 18 miles in altitude, downrange 23 miles,
already traveling 2,500 miles per hour,
approach staging, the burnout of the twin solid rocket boosters
which have been burning fuel
at a rate of about 11,000 pounds per second.
Saw the rocket boosters have done their job.
Atlantis is continuing in its due easterly course
to catch up with the Hubble Space Telescope one last time.
-Atlantis, single engine Banjul 104.
-Copy, single engine Banjul 104.
-That call indicating that Atlantis
could reach Banjul in the Gambia,
although that is not a transoceanic abort landing site.
-Atlantis, negative Merone. Select Banjul.
-Houston, we copy, negative Merone, selecting Banjul.
-Vehicle rolling to heads-up now
to get good communications through the tracking and data
relay satellite system 6 minutes,
25 seconds into the flight downrange from the launch site
4,030 miles,
altitude 353,000 feet or about 67 miles.
-Atlantis, single engine press 109.
-Houston, we copy, single engine press 109.
-Mike Good, first day in space, how's it going, first full day?
You already had... You blasted off yesterday.
How do you feel today?
-Feel much better today. -Yeah.
-It was a very exciting liftoff and trip to space.
-Yes. - Here we are.
Had a little sleep, had a little chow.
-Good, great.
-We're doing our work here getting the air lock ready
so we can go outside and do EVAs...
-All right. -...which is why we're here.
-It's the whole idea, and, Drew, what are you doing?
-I'm using tape.
-Is there any reason why you have sunglasses on
in the mid-deck where there's no lights...
-Because... -...I mean, no Sun?
-Because they look cool. -Oh, that's my man.
-What are you doing in here? -[Indistinct]
-Welcome.
-You getting the space suits ready?
-Getting the air lock ready.
-So how does it feel to be here after 7 years?
-Oh, it's wonderful.
-All right. -Like old friends.
-Excellent. -All right.
Hey, Drew, how was your first day in space?
-It was good. -Yeah.
-I enjoyed it. -You were unbelievable, man.
You were working like a maniac right from this get-go like,
you know, you were born here.
-I like this floating in space. -Yeah, it's fun, isn't it?
-That's right.
-We're in the mid-deck of Space Shuttle Atlantis with my buddy,
John Grunsfeld, over here, but the person we want to talk to
is behind the camera now will be on camera.
That's Megan McArthur who is our flight engineer,
and, Megan, what are you doing now?
-Well, we just finished the starboard survey
of the orbiter GPS, and I'm going to get my lunch,
so I go to this locker here that says MF two meals on it.
-Yeah. -And I pull it out,
and it shows me all of the food with a green dot
that's mine that's in here,
so I look up kind of what I want to eat.
This is what I was looking for, ravioli.
-Oh, man, that's great. -Tasty, very tasty.
-I just had some. -So put this away,
close this up, and then...
-And, Houston, that looks better to us.
-This is the warming oven.
There it goes.
It sits in there for a few minutes to get warm,
and then I can eat it because I don't like it cold.
-How have you liked the food so far?
-Well, so far, all I've had is a peanut butter sandwich,
and that was tasty, so yeah.
-That's good. -Well, I'm using a computer,
and just like your computer at home,
we have computers in space.
I'm checking our flight plans that we need to do,
and I also can check my e-mail.
I've already got some e-mail from my wife and my kids,
and it's great to be able to stay in touch
with them like this.
-Houston, [Indistinct] recording.
-And it's a great way for us to tell our friends
what we're doing and maybe even send a Twitter once in a while,
not that often but once in a while.
-But you're setting up for IMAX.
You've also set up for what other kind of video?
You're doing all kinds of photo, photography, video.
-We're doing high definition, so we got some high definition
down yesterday in the ET tank.
-Yeah, [Indistinct]. -And we're doing...
This is high definition.
-Right. -And then we'll do kind of
a crew summary at the end of the day.
-So how do you like filmmaking?
Do you think it might be a second career for you?
-Could be after piloting. -Yeah.
What kind of movies would you make?
-They'd be all humorous movies. -Oh, all right, man.
Thanks a lot, Greg.
-Okay, thanks. -You're doing great.
-It was a wild lesson, by the way.
-Anything else you want to say to your family?
-I love to be in space.
I miss them, and I'll see them soon.
-Hey, and what about the hat?
Well, you got a new STS-125 hat.
That's pretty sharp. -Do you think it got
paint spilled on it like everybody else does?
-No, I think it looks good. I think it looks great.
-It's Hubble pictures in a hat. -Yeah, it looks awesome.
-So I had to fly it.
I wanted to take it with me.
-Very inspiring. -That's it.
-Well, hey, thanks a lot for being such a great commander,
and I hope we can do as well the rest of the mission
as we've done so far in the first 2 days.
How do you think? -I think we will.
I think the best part about being a commander here
is having a great crew that does everything,
and I just sit around. -All right.
Anybody watching this, remember, this is nonedited,
and we're not professionals. See you.
-The twin orbital maneuvering system engines
on the tail of Atlantis firing, supporting the altitude increase
to support the rendezvous with the Hubble Space Telescope.
The glow in the center is the vertical tail of Atlantis,
the twin orbital maneuvering system engines,
the OMS engines, providing 6,000 pounds of thrust each.
-Atlantis, Houston, good burn, no trim required.
-Houston, Atlantis, for star tracker.
-Scooter, go ahead for star tracker.
-Hey, Houston, Atlantis can report that the star tracker
is not the only thing that can see a star on our horizon.
Looking out the COAS,
we see that star approaching from the east.
-Hey, that's terrific news.
I guess the last time we've seen Hubble
up close was March of '02, so that's great to hear.
Thank you.
-Well, we hope to get a lot closer, so we'll continue.
-Good call.
-Houston, Atlantis, 200 feet. -And Houston copies.
Thanks.
-From 200 feet, the Hubble Space Telescope,
first time it's been seen since March 2002,
the most recent servicing mission.
Atlantis essentially stationed keeping
while the final command sequence being completed
before moving in for the final approach to grapple.
Shuttle's robotic arm is in position
and awaiting the commanding from Megan McArthur
as she will be in charge
of the shuttle's remote manipulator system
for the grapple of the telescope.
-Okay, that's okay.
It's maybe drifted slightly left.
-Closure.
-We're stalling minus 0.5 at 151 feet.
-Okay, I just don't want to see the numbers get bigger.
-Okay, we're opening now, 155. -Okay.
-I'm going to try to shoot
one off the bottom just to see if [Indistinct]
-Okay, I see you set up with body vector five...
-How many angles off do you think we are?
-...[Indistinct], zero, Omicron, zero,
and I agree with that for a plus [Indistinct].
-Three hundred fifty miles above the Indian Ocean,
Atlantis with the robotic arm in view closing in
on the Hubble Space Telescope
directly underneath the telescope now
that the two vehicles are in the proper position
for grapple inside 100 feet to Hubble.
-Hey, Houston, Atlantis, we have the telescope,
and the arm [Indistinct]. -Thank you.
We copy, and we're pulling down
the KU right now, and we see that.
Thank you.
-The bottom of Hubble coming into view
through the remote manipulator system's end effector camera,
this same view seen through one of the closed-circuit
televisions up on the flight deck of Atlantis.
-Houston, Atlantis, Hubble has arrived
on board Atlantis with the arm.
-Atlantis, Houston, we copy.
Nice job, Megan.
Nice job [Indistinct] flying as well.
It's great to be back with the telescope.
-Hey, I'm just looking out the window here,
and it's an unbelievably beautiful sight.
Amazingly, the exterior of Hubble,
an old man of 19 years in space, still looks in fantastic shape.
-Megan McArthur, who worked the arm and grappled the telescope,
Scott Altman, our commander who flew the space shuttle
in formation with the telescope, going how fast?
-Seventeen thousand,
five hundred miles an hour [Indistinct] formation.
-Very fast, very, very fast. -Just like this.
-Unbelievable. So, Megan, how do you feel?
What was it like?
-I feel good, you know? It was very smooth.
It was very straightforward.
Scooter got...really nulled out all of the [Indistinct].
It was just rock solid.
It was like grabbing something that was wasn't moving,
so it felt good.
Glad to have that behind us so the EVA guys can get to work.
-And, Scooter, what about you?
What did you think of the rendezvous?
How was it? -It was exciting.
-Well, you said... -Challenges there...
-You said it was a little fast.
Is that right? -We came in.
We had kind of...
a little extra closure, a little out out-of-plane maneuvering...
-Yeah. -...trying to get up
to the telescope, had to some breaking,
and then the telescope wasn't rotated for us.
We had to wait when we got there
and then do a yaw, all this stuff.
-Oh, my gosh. -Look at that.
See, it's just curveball with that telescope.
-Gosh, but you are
an F-14 pilot, right? -Yes.
-So going fast, that's not a big deal.
It was all right. -It was okay.
-Have it all your way.
Got it.
Any words before going out the door, buddy?
-I'm excited. -It's kind of just like the NBL.
-Trying to get a last bite to eat before we go.
I'm a little more excited than at the NBL.
It's the real deal.
-So are you hitting the big time here?
-Ready to, this is the big time, buddy.
-The look-over is open, Mass. -Great, John.
We see you coming out. You can egress.
Come out. -Ready, Drew?
-Ready, John. Let's go do this.
-Oh, that's fantastic.
-[Indistinct] through.
-Looks nice.
-Veteran space walker John Grunsfeld out of the air lock,
recognizable by the red stripes around his pant legs
and up on the backpack of his suit,
the backpack housing all of his life support equipment.
-[Indistinct], John.
-[Indistinct] -Copy.
-[Indistinct], Drew.
-[Indistinct]
-Woo-hoo.
-[Indistinct]
together.
-I'd just like to say that to Ari and Aden and Indy,
this is sublime.
I'm smiling from ear to ear.
It's hard not to smile.
-And throughout the space walk, we'll get helmet-cam video
from the two crew members.
The highlighted soft number down
in the right lower portion of the screen will indicate
which crew member's helmet cam you're looking at.
Number 20 is Drew Feustel.
If you see a number 19, that'll be John Grunsfeld.
-Megan. -Okay, Dan,
so we're not going to do step two.
We're going to have John go get the short adjustable,
and we will have Drew.
I guess we'll use [Indistinct] again.
-I need just a couple minutes. -Okay.
-I'm going to free float her.
-Take your time. -Take your time, John.
-Okay, and just to be clear,
we're going to retry with the short adjustable
and the contingency MTL set at 45.
Is that right?
-Atlantis, Houston, that is a good plan.
That's what we're just discussing that.
We think a short adjustable with the contingency
MTL is probably the best next action.
-John Grunsfeld headed down to the air lock
to retrieve a short adjustable ratchet to assist
with breaking the torque on the grounding strap bolt
which has been a little troublesome in releasing.
-Okay, so Drew is good to use everything he's got,
then, to try to break the torque here.
Is that correct? -Mass, I'm sorry.
You were stepped on. Say again?
-So in other words, we can use
what he needs from his strength to try to break the torque.
Is that what you're telling us?
-That's exactly right, and as soon as he does,
if he's successful, start to have some motion in the latch,
we'd like him to go ahead and stop at that point.
-Okay. Thanks, Dan.
-Okay, but I think we understand
that if it breaks then Wide Field stays in.
-What John said is correct. -Thanks.
-Okay, here we go. I think I got it.
It turned. It definitely turned.
-Yep. -It turned.
-And it's turning easily now. -Very nice.
-Okay, and, Atlantis, Houston, [Indistinct],
we copied and saw that. That's great news.
At this point, we'd like to put the MTL
back in series with the short adjustable.
-Well, this has been in there for 15 years, Drew.
-It didn't want to come out.
-Kind of like a head bolt, you know?
-It likes what it's been doing, and it weighs 620 pounds.
-And it's been doing it well. -Six twenty, thank you, man.
-And we counted a total of 22 plus the half,
22 1/2 pounds on the A-latch.
-I guess it just decided to be a recalcitrant teenager.
-And the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2
is clear of the structure of the telescope,
and now Feustel will be maneuvered by Megan McArthur
to the temporary stowage location
along the left side of the payload bay.
-Clear to go and take a look if you need to.
-Thank you.
-Three inches to go.
You're there.
Keep coming, Megan.
-Copy, continue. -Please stop motion.
-Motion stopped. -I've got a hand on it.
-Copy. -Stop.
-How does it look? -A new camera now installed.
The next step will be to engage the bolt or the A-latch again,
expecting about 22 turns on the pistol grip tool settings.
-Ten decimal five. -Atlantis, Houston,
[Indistinct] Wide Field 3.
-Yeah, hooray. -Woo-hoo.
-Awesome. -That's awesome news, Dan.
Thanks. These guys did a great job,
and we appreciate all of the great support
we got from the ground getting Wide Field in
to unlock the secrets of universe.
-More of the secrets.
-More of the secrets of the universe.
-The crew has been given a go for the second major task
of EVA number one.
That is the removal and replacement
of the Science Instrument Command and Data Handling system
that malfunctioned last September,
delaying the servicing mission from October to now.
-Well, we got the Hubble and gave Hubble a hug,
but in traditional Hubble fashion,
Hubble threw us a few curves.
I think it's really a testament to the whole team on board here,
on board Atlantis and of course on the ground
[Indistinct] Christy and everybody else,
the Goddard team that we were absolutely overcome him
and that we have Wide Field Camera 3 in the telescope
to help to unlock the secrets of the universe
and a new scientific Instrument Command and Data Handling.
Thanks to everybody for all their hard work.
-Mike Massimino first out of the air lock.
He is beginning his third space walk
and third to service the Hubble Space Telescope.
-Anybody home?
-Hey, Mass, you're looking great.
-Well, good. Welcome to the wonderful world
of working in a vacuum.
[Indistinct] RSU with your name on it waiting for you.
-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 SOAP.
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.
-And just a reminder to the both of you,
watch out for the loop on the bolt.
-Okay.
-Mike Massimino's reflection in the hatch shroud
of the Hubble Space Telescope
as he prepares to open the doors,
protective doors over the fixed head star trackers
and the rate sensor units.
-Come in. -Okay, Mike, your legs
are over the top of the [Indistinct] here.
I think you can go in now, in and up.
-Massimino now being assisted by Michael Good
with positioning inside the astronaut of the telescope.
You're looking directly at one of the star tracker shields.
-And, Mass, if you look carefully,
there's a little engraving that says,
"Story was here," somewhere.
-Oh, you could have fooled me. -Okay, stop.
-It's loose.
I've got it. -Excellent.
I'm going to attempt to start the PGT.
-Okay. -Hey, Mike, I got it.
-And a first rate sensor unit removed now from the telescope.
-We're good. That goes on...
You can unlock the rest, and it goes on top of the MFR
handle, one adjustable, one [Indistinct].
-Okay. -Atlantis, Houston, for EVA,
we have a good aliveness test in RSU 2-R.
You have a go for RSU 3 change out.
-And we copy. Go for RSU 3.
-Ready for the roll? -Ready.
-Here it comes. -Nice.
-Do you want to get inside that other cable,
or are you all right?
-I'm okay. -There we go.
Okay.
-Two hours, 42 minutes into the space walk,
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 the plate.
This one feels like it won't sit flux on the plate if I get...
It's kind of rocking on it.
I think it might be that, you know, those [Indistinct]
are a little tighter than the RSU 2 side.
That's what it feels like.
Steve and I had a little trouble on this side 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 in the number three slot,
Mike Massimino holding his position inside the telescope
at the install location.
-Mike, that feels solid. -Okay.
-Look good?
-Looks good to me. -I definitely got it.
-Excellent. -Woo-hoo!
-Do the next bolt. -Zero.
-Yeah, that bolt is in.
Great job, Mike.
-Okay, Mass, Bueno. -Yeah.
-EVA 2, what do you think? -It was like...Go ahead, Mike.
-Go, go, go, you go.
-I was going to say it's like a heavyweight fight.
Oh, my gosh.
It was just Hubble was throwing
a lot of punches at us, and we fought back, though.
-Houston, I'm looking at [Indistinct]
6 dash 76 ready to copy your deltas.
-It was a great team effort, though,
between everybody inside here and everybody on the ground.
It was awesome.
-Awesome. Mass, what do you think?
-Well, you call it EVA 2, but I call it EVA 2 and EVA 2 1/2,
and I don't know how it all worked out,
but apparently, it did somehow, but there was things.
Nothing was going right, you know?
From the beginning, nothing fit. We got that stuff.
They got geniuses figuring this stuff out to,
like, the nanometer, right,
or whatever, you know, and it's still not fitting.
We're both trying stuff.
I don't know what's going on out there,
but somehow, I think it all worked.
-♪ I thought I heard them say ♪
♪ Welcome to the Hotel Cepollina ♪
♪ Such a happy place ♪
♪ Put on your happy face ♪
-With all the courage that Hubble has been showing us,
there's no question that we're all living
in the Hotel Cepollina.
-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 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've managed to sort of power through both days
and get all of the tasks completed and checklist done,
so I'm excited about this.
-What do you think the real challenge is today?
What's the big challenge today?
-We're taking out the Wide Field.
Sorry.
We're taking out the COSTAR today,
and given the problems we had with Wide Field,
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.
-The shroud doors coming open at 41 minutes into the space walk.
-Got that door, John? -Yeah, I've got this door.
-Megan, no more away, right only.
-Copy right only.
-Hubble. -P three is [Indistinct].
-Copy, P three. -P four is [Indistinct].
-Copy, P four. -P one is [Indistinct]
-Copy, P one. -Right, P one,
and P two is [Indistinct].
-Copy, all four connectors are [Indistinct].
John, this is the note we've been waiting for.
-Stand by. -Ground strap clip [Indistinct]
flap is only taped to HST.
-How would we know that? -Hmm.
-John, I've got your foot. -Okay, thanks.
-I'm ready, Drew. -Okeydokey.
-Okay, you guys know the drill. Let's remove COSTAR.
-Hey, Megan, let's start moving out.
-Copy, Drew. Coming out slow.
-Hey, John, if you could call the [Indistinct]
light steady when you see it.
-[Indistinct] is on.
-Thank you.
-COSTAR is free and now is 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.
-Clear. -Stop. How far are we?
-You're about 2 feet out and clearing.
Continue, Megan.
-Copy, continue.
-A unique view from John Grunsfeld's helmet camera
looking forward to the aft flight deck of Atlantis
as he faces the long end of the protective enclosure
with the new Cosmic Origins Spectograph 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.
-I'm going to take a peek and get out of your way,
and, Megan, [Indistinct].
-John, come more in, come down 8 inches.
-Copy, coming down 8 inches.
-Until we see your head clear.
-Okay, John, I'm starting to push it in again.
-Okay. -[Indistinct]
-Okay. -The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph
now in the telescope ready for final bolting
and connecting of the or mating
of the electrical and data connections.
-Tool is upside down.
-Mass, on the little B-latch box,
rotate it as it's supposed to in the downwards direction.
-Good work. -Great job, excellent.
[ Chatter ]
-At 11:22 a.m. Central Time, the report from the space
telescope operation control center,
a good aliveness test on the newest science instrument
for the Hubble Space Telescope, the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph.
Drew Feustel with the old instrument, COSTAR,
which has completed its job after 15 years in the telescope,
being carefully placed in a protective canister
for the return trip home.
-John, go ahead with the 9-inch and the 14-inch.
Retrieve those from the bag and break torque
on all of the fasteners.
We're going to retighten one, 28 and 29.
-Good work. -A very intricate procedure
to swap out some electrical cards,
essentially some computer cards
that failed due to an electrical short
inside the advance camera for surveys,
the fastener capture plate now removed,
having done its job of capturing the 33,
32 tiny screws inside the protective enclosure,
and the card extraction tool being secured through the CEB,
or the charge couple device electronics box.
-Card one is out. -Nice.
-I heard that. -[Indistinct], John.
Nice job.
-Nice job, John.
-Make a few more turns to get it out of the connector
not that it matters.
The slide rock in the back...
in the four card, the slide rock 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.
-We started off this morning with "Hotel Cepollina."
This is where we're living in orbit on Space Shuttle Atlantis,
and I think [Indistinct]
and especially ACS is due to all of the diligence
of all of 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 CBR technology borrowed
from the next generation telescope,
the James Webb Space Telescope.
It's all fantastic, and it enabled us to do our work today.
Okay, Drew. I'm ready for the doors.
-Okay. [Indistinct]
is going to be first on the bottom.
-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.
-Mike Massimino in a foot restraint
inside the 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 mini workstation
or the 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.
-It'll probably just snap away. -Yeah.
[Indistinct] really, really slow for NASA, 10 times slower.
-Can you grab the [Indistinct]?
-The problem is that if John doesn't...
I think if he loads it too slowly, it's just going to bend.
I mean, at some point, it'll fatigue, but if he...
-Yeah, but I don't want any little bits shooting
off into his suit, right?
-Yeah. Yeah, that's true.
-So are you taking one of them back to the telescope?
-Yeah, I was. -Okay, good.
-[Indistinct]. -Pardon?
-[Indistinct] we bent over,
and I thought I was going to drive them into the W site.
-The W site? -Nice and slow.
-Think we're going to be able to get this, Drew?
-I do, actually.
I think once he busts off the handrail,
the rest is going to go smooth as silk.
How long is the daylight for that darn handrail?
-Sunset in 11 minutes.
-Oh, that's not good.
We can do it, [Indistinct].
-Well, we're going to do something bad.
We're going to break something in the nighttime,
and then we're going to do the good stuff, put the card in.
-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.
-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 don't see any black.
-Right. -And on the lower left, again,
it's a band of black, so...
-I can see it on the left, yes.
-I think that's as good as we're going to get this thing.
-Atlantis, Houston, great description by Mass there.
We copy and understand.
We're happy with the current configs of the removal.
When we get the copper off, then we'll want to snug all four.
-Phase one is complete. -Copy.
-Phase two complete.
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 [Indistinct].
-I see the wires. -Okay, just a second, Mike.
Let me get my hands ready where I need them.
-Go really slow. -Okay.
-That's good. Stop. Stop.
Stop. -You know where to cut it.
-And as 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.
-Good job. -And now moving on replace
the low-voltage power supply card
to finish up the repair
to this instrument of the Hubble Space Telescope.
-Hey, Mass, I'm going.
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 space walk with Hubble
is about to come to an end.
We're bringing you in as soon as you close the doors.
-Okay, thanks, Scooter.
View is 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 do you got, Mike?
-Those were good words, Mass.
It is really awesome to be able to be out here doing it.
The NBL is great, but this is...
It's completely awesome out here,
a lot of work but well worth it.
-It's 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.
-Have a 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, fun and enjoyable day.
-Outstanding. Here comes the sun, Drew.
-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,
and there's Mission Specialist John Grunsfeld
making his way out of the air lock now.
-Good.
Tether up over your helmet there.
-Yep. -And as you can see,
Grunsfeld is wearing the suit with the solid red stripe.
-It's a nice setup.
-A view from Mission Specialist John Grunsfeld helmet camera
looking directly at the bay
three that he'll be working in to replace the batteries inside.
Directly to the left of it is the bay two
where Mike Massimino and Mike Good replaced batteries
during the second space walk of the mission.
-[Indistinct] 12.
-That bolt is free, Bueno, and the battery is releasing.
-Copy.
-Oh, nice silhouette on the door.
-What a beautiful spaceship we're on, guys.
-View from Mission Specialist John Grunsfeld's helmet 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 one.
-Yeah, Bueno, happy to report
a good aliveness test on the bay three battery.
You have a go for the L-12 steps and step 13, your column.
-Copy and go on set 13, my column.
Thanks, Dan.
-I stopped at a little over six
because I can see that the stop bolt
is up against the pivot nut. -Good job, John.
Let's see if we can get that other latch bolted [Indistinct].
-Hey, I'm just going to pop this one out.
I don't want to cut 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 space
walk to service the Hubble Space Telescope.
-That's a great shot. -Of the astronauts.
-[Indistinct] -I was going to try again
with the EVA ratchet in the setting of 38.
I'm looking up 815 dash 55, Dan.
Step four says A-latch fails to disengage.
I think that's where we are.
We would need to use a 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 caddy on the stanchion
as part of the portable foot restraint
on the end of the shuttle's robot arm.
-Way to go, man. -Go ahead, John.
Good luck.
-Think you got it. -Something happened.
-I think you got it. -Yeah.
-And it's moving. -Okay, jump it.
-Going to go for a full half-turn.
-Very good, John. -All right.
-And the mirror is now clear, just coming up to the telephone.
-Okay. -You are clear to continue
to increase the rate of your [Indistinct]
-Yep, you can increase the rate. Megan?
-Copy, picking up the rate. -Oh, what a beautiful view.
-[Indistinct] maneuver.
-Copy that, going to the [Indistinct] fixture.
-John Grunsfeld being maneuvered on the end
of the 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.
-Stop right there. -John Grunsfeld assisting
with the final connectors on the port
or the left side of the new fine guidance sensor.
-This is a really tremendous adventure that we've been on,
a very challenging mission.
Hubble isn't just a satellite.
It's about humanity's quest for knowledge.
There are a few people that are very special to Hubble
that I'd like to thank, Lyman Spitzer and John Bahcall,
both deceased but without whom we wouldn't have
a Hubble Space Telescope or this amazing adventure.
Others who are still us
and being very productive scientists,
Steve Beckwith and [Indistinct]
president Bill Smith, Edward McCluskey and Ed Weiler
without whom we wouldn't have a servicing mission four
and of course Mike Griffin.
I think we'd all agree that without [Indistinct],
none of this would have happened,
a tour de force of tools and human ingenuity,
this mission in particular.
As Arthur C. Clarke says,
"The only way of finding the limits of the possible
is by going beyond them into the impossible,
and on this mission, we tried some things
that many people said was impossible:
fixing STIS, repairing ACS,
achieving all the content that we have in this mission,
but we've achieved that,
and we wish Hubble the very best.
It's a really a sign of the great country
that we live in that we're able to do things like this
on a marvelous spaceship like Space Shuttle Atlantis,
and I'm convinced
that if we can solve problems like repairing Hubble,
getting to space, doing the servicing
we do traveling 17,500 miles an hour around the Earth
that we can achieve other great things
like solving our energy problems and our climate problem,
all things that are in the middle
of NASA's prime and core values.
As Drew and I go into the air lock,
I want to wish Hubble its own set of adventures
and with the new instruments we've installed
that it may unlock further mysteries of the universe.
-[Indistinct] -Five seconds...
The mode switch is in auto.
Three, two, one, release. I'm backing away.
-I see you got it open. -Clear the pin.
Mode switch is in off.
-Clear the antenna. -Ready, Jay?
I'm calling for 10 down pulses
when we do this and record the [Indistinct].
-Right.
-I see you moving away now, [Indistinct].
-I'm working to get away from the antenna as well.
-Okay.
-Okay, I'm 5 feet from the telescope,
not yet 5 feet from the antenna.
-And I'll need the time when do this, Scooter,
but I think I'm going to hear it.
-You will. -Yeah.
-I'd call that 5 feet. -Okay.
-Go for course [Indistinct].
-And just verify your flight control power is on.
-My flight power is on.
-Motion has stopped, Scooter.
-Okay.
Here comes the berm and down pulses.
Mark.
-Seven, 20.
-That's 10. -Yep.
-Flight controller is off.
-Okay, I need the mic. -Oh, baby, look at that.
-[Indistinct] Atlantis was [Indistinct]
-Twenty-four feet.
-Okay, is that the Keogh camera on monitor two for me...
-Twenty-eight feet. -...the actual monitor two?
-The center of [Indistinct],
bottom half of Keogh, Scooter in neutral.
-Thirty-one. -There it is, Scooter.
-Okay. -Thirty-five.
-Thank you. -Opening.
-It's supposed to be at a [Indistinct] of about 65.
You said 35 opening? -Yep.
-Do you have a [Indistinct]? -Negative.
-Yeah, it's about 65 of the [Indistinct].
-Okay. -Stand by for your [Indistinct].
-Yeah, it's just bouncing off the...
-Eighty-one feet. -Okay, [Indistinct]
-One point two is what it showed,
but I think, what, 240.
-Okay, that's good. That's good.
Two-forty is all good.
-You've got a small [Indistinct].
-One twenty-three. -Yeah, I'm getting it.
-Reads 99 feet. -That's the shot.
-A hundred and fifty. -[Indistinct]
-A hundred and fifty-two. -Thanks.
-We have receiver two locked.
-We have received two locked [Indistinct] at sub point.
-Not yet. -Yeah, a little more time.
Thank you.
-Scooter, at oh-oh-five-oh
is what I show three plus 30 to 5,720.
-Okay.
Do you have your maneuver ready to go?
-I'm putting them in now. -You can do [Indistinct] 19.
-Hey, John. -Hey, Scooter.
-Yeah. -Can you grab this thing?
-Yeah. -Thanks.
-Two hundred feet. -Twenty seconds, Scooter.
-Twenty seconds for the maneuver.
-Right, I got one, three, 90, zero, zero, Omicron, zero.
-Okay. -[Indistinct] 19.
-Go ahead and give me the [Indistinct] 19.
-[Indistinct] in about 8 seconds.
-For what?
-[Indistinct] 30, the [Indistinct].
Here we go. -Just keep shooting that thing.
[ Chatter ] -I thought you said 5 minutes.
I thought you said we were at 3:30.
Are you at 5 minutes? -No, I queued it up.
-Okay, go ahead and give me the 19.
-Give me the auto [Indistinct].
-Atlantis is traveling 730 miles per hour, altitude 50,000 feet.
And the views as the crews sees it through the forward windows
of the orbiter through the heads-up display,
the twin sonic booms heralding the arrival of Atlantis
to the landing site.
-Atlantis, on at the 180. -Copy, Houston, on at the 180.
-Pilot Greg Johnson now flying Atlantis
as the orbiter is halfway around
the heading alignment circle to line up with runway 22,
the northeast-southwest approach end of runway 2204,
and Commander Scott Altman now flying
Atlantis the rest of the way.
Time to touchdown: 2 minutes.
-Atlantis, on at the 90. -Houston, Atlantis copies,
on at the 90.
-Altitude: 12,000 feet.
-Houston, Atlantis, field in sight at 10,000 feet.
-Copy, field in sight.
-Seven thousand feet.
Four thousand feet.
Two thousand feet.
Commander Scott Altman beginning to flare out the vehicle,
pitch the nose up as he approaches runway 22
from the northeast.
Three hundred feet, landing gear down.
Main gear touchdown.
Nose gear touchdown.
Space Shuttle Atlantis is rolling out on runway
22 at Edwards Air Force Base,
completing 197 orbits of the Earth
while traveling 5,276,000 miles.
This landing marks the 53rd shuttle mission to end
at Edwards Air Force Base.
Atlantis spent 7 days servicing the Hubble Space Telescope
that included five space walks totaling a record 37 hours.
Atlantis has completed its 30th mission
and the 126th in the history of the space shuttle program.
The Hubble Space Telescope's
final servicing mission is complete,
but its mission of discovery is just beginning.
-Houston, Atlantis, wheels stopped, Edwards 22.
-Welcome home, Atlantis.
Congratulations on a very successful mission
giving Hubble a new set of eyes
that will continue to expand our knowledge of the universe.
-Thank you, Houston.
It was a thrill from start to finish.
We've had a great ride.
It took a whole team across the country to pull it off.
Our hats off to y'all.
Thank you so much.
