EVA # 5 - John Grunsfeld and Andrew Feustel
The final spacewalk to service Hubble, and last planned EVA from a shuttle airlock replaced the final battery module; installed Fine Guidance Sensor No. 2; removed degraded insulation panels from bays 5, 7 and 8, and installed three New Outer Blanket Layer (NOBL)s in their place; and removed and reinstalled a protective cover around Hubble's low-gain antenna.
EVA start: 12:20, EVA finish: 19:22, Duration: 7 hours 2 minutes
