STS-125 Mission Specialist 1 (MS1) Michael Good, positioned on a foot restraint on the end of Space Shuttle Atlantis' Remote Manipulator System (RMS), and MS4 Mike Massimino (lower right, partially out of the frame) participate in the mission's fourth session of extravehicular activity (EVA4) as work continues to refurbish and upgrade the Hubble Space Telescope. During the eight-hour, two-minute spacewalk, Good and Massimino continued repairs and improvements to the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) that has helped extend Hubble's life.

The same day that NASA Administrator Michael Griffin announced from Goddard Space Flight Center the astronauts selected for the final shuttle mission to perform work on the Hubble Space Telescope, the crew met the news media at the Johnson Space Center. Following the press briefing, the members posed for this group portrait. From left to right are astronauts K. Megan McArthur, Michael T. Good, Gregory C. Johnson, Scott D. Altman, John M. Grunsfeld, Michael J. Massimino, and Andrew J. Feustel. Altman commanded the final space shuttle mission to Hubble, and Johnson served as pilot for his initial spaceflight. Mission specialists included veteran spacewalkers Grunsfeld and Massimino and first-time space fliers Feustel, Good and McArthur.
