SPACE FLIGHT EXPERIENCE: STS-125 Atlantis (May 11 to May 24, 2009) was the fifth and final Hubble servicing mission. The 19-year-old telescope spent 6 days in the shuttle cargo bay undergoing an overhaul. Good logged 15 hours and 58 minutes of EVA during two of the five spacewalks conducted. The refurbished Hubble Space Telescope now has four new or rejuvenated scientific instruments, new batteries, new gyroscopes, new outer blankets and a new computer. The STS-125 mission was accomplished in 12 days, 21 hours, 37 minutes and 09 seconds, traveling 5,276,000 miles in 197 Earth orbits.

STS-132 Atlantis (May 14 to May 26, 2010) delivered an Integrated Cargo Carrier and a Russian-built Mini Research Module to the International Space Station. During 7 days of docked operations, three spacewalks were conducted, and Good logged 13 hours and 55 minutes of EVA in two spacewalks. On the second spacewalk, Bowen and Good replaced batteries on the P6 truss that stores solar energy. On the final spacewalk, Good and Reisman replaced the last of the P6 Truss batteries and retrieved a power data grapple fixture for installation at a later date. The STS-132 mission was completed in 186 orbits, traveling 4,879,978 miles in 11 days, 18 hours, 28 minutes and 2 seconds.
