SM4 MISSION - FLIGHT DAY 7 - 05.17.2009

EVA # 4 - Mike Massimino and Michael Good.
Tasks - Removed and replaced an electronics card for the STIS. The spacewalk was extended due to problems removing a handrail as well as problems with a power tool, causing the spacewalk to end as the sixth longest EVA in history. Due to the time overrun on the STIS task, the scheduled Bay 8 NOBL installation was postponed to EVA #5.
EVA start: 13:45, EVA finish: 21:47, Duration: 8 hours 2 minutes
