The crew of Space Shuttle Atlantis will complete their fifth and final spacewalk to repair the Hubble Space Telescope Monday.
Today’s spacewalk and repair are the final one for Hubble. NASA has no plans to do any further repairs on Hubble for good, as it is expected this new equipment and repair work will last for another 5 to 10 years or so.
Hubble, which has been in operation for 19 years will see the installation of batteries and sensors, by space walkers John Grunsfeld and Andrew Feustel.
