"A Few Words From John Grunsfeld About the STS-125 Mission
Tue, 19 May 2009 04:06:59 AM GMT+0900
Outside the airlock hatch, John Grunsfeld said, "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."
He also thanked several people who contributed to Hubble and the servicing mission, then went on to say,
"A tour de force of tools and human ingenuity. On this mission in particular, the only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible. On this mission, we tried some things that some people said were impossible….We’ve achieved that, and we wish Hubble the very best. It’s 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. I’m convinced that if we can solve problems, like repairing Hubble, getting into space, doing the servicing we do, travelling 17,500 mph around the Earth, we can achieve other great things, like solving the energy problems and climate problems- all of the things that are in the middle of NASA’s prime and core values. As Drew and I go into the airlock, I want to wish Hubble its own set of adventures and with the new instruments that we’ve installed that it may unlock further mysteries of the universe.""

Spacewalkers Begin Final Task of STS-125 Mission
Goddard
We now are 2 hours, 48 minutes into today's spacewalk.
The astronauts have successfully completed the Fine Guidance Sensor removal and replacement work.
For the final spacewalk task of the mission, Grunsfeld and Feustel install two, maybe three, new protective thermal insulation panels – New Outer Blanket Layers (NOBL) – on the telescope's bay 5 door, bay 8 door and, if time permits, to the bay 7 door.

European-built Node 3 says farewell to Europe - ESA Portal
The official departure ceremony of Node 3 took place at the site of ESA’s Node 3 prime contractor Thales Alenia Space in Turin, Italy, on 16 May. The final European-built permanent module for the ISS is now on the way to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, US, prior to its launch early next year.
Node 3 is the last element of a barter agreement signed in Turin in 1997 by which ESA supplied NASA with ISS hardware, including two Node modules (Node 2 and 3). In return, NASA ferried the European Columbus laboratory to the ISS in February 2008. "

"A Few Words From John Grunsfeld About the STS-125 Mission
Tue, 19 May 2009 04:06:59 AM GMT+0900
Outside the airlock hatch, John Grunsfeld said, "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."
He also thanked several people who contributed to Hubble and the servicing mission, then went on to say,
"A tour de force of tools and human ingenuity. On this mission in particular, the only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible. On this mission, we tried some things that some people said were impossible….We’ve achieved that, and we wish Hubble the very best. It’s 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. I’m convinced that if we can solve problems, like repairing Hubble, getting into space, doing the servicing we do, travelling 17,500 mph around the Earth, we can achieve other great things, like solving the energy problems and climate problems- all of the things that are in the middle of NASA’s prime and core values. As Drew and I go into the airlock, I want to wish Hubble its own set of adventures and with the new instruments that we’ve installed that it may unlock further mysteries of the universe.""

Spacewalkers Begin Final Task of STS-125 Mission
Goddard
We now are 2 hours, 48 minutes into today's spacewalk.
The astronauts have successfully completed the Fine Guidance Sensor removal and replacement work.
For the final spacewalk task of the mission, Grunsfeld and Feustel install two, maybe three, new protective thermal insulation panels – New Outer Blanket Layers (NOBL) – on the telescope's bay 5 door, bay 8 door and, if time permits, to the bay 7 door.

European-built Node 3 says farewell to Europe - ESA Portal
The official departure ceremony of Node 3 took place at the site of ESA’s Node 3 prime contractor Thales Alenia Space in Turin, Italy, on 16 May. The final European-built permanent module for the ISS is now on the way to NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, US, prior to its launch early next year.
Node 3 is the last element of a barter agreement signed in Turin in 1997 by which ESA supplied NASA with ISS hardware, including two Node modules (Node 2 and 3). In return, NASA ferried the European Columbus laboratory to the ISS in February 2008. "
