The Atlantis astronauts continued their spacewalk marathon on the Hubble Space Telescope's fourth upgrade mission
On today's spacewalk they focused on installing the Cosmic Sources Spectrograph, and the first part of repairing the Advanced Survey Camera. Work on the camera will continue on the fifth spacewalk.
Installing the spectrograph required special skills from the spacewalkers: Grünsfeld and Feustel removed the cover surface, while having to unscrew 32 screws. Grunsfeld therefore gained access to the area where the electronic tickets are located. Feustel meanwhile handled a piece of equipment known as the clavicle, which was used to hold the tools used to remove electronic cards from the camera. To remove the card, Grunsfeld used a card puller that has a special nozzle that makes it easier to pull the card.

To Bijumbom, it is written in the previous articles..
They extended the life of the telescope by a few years by replacing equipment that broke down, I'm not sure if the new equipment is better but it's likely that it is because it's been a few years since they launched the telescope..
Does anyone know what the result of the upgrade will be?
Indeed the next stage of humanity if there is an elevator to space.
How about some article about the space elevator?
Plumbers in space 🙂
I wish the Japanese succeed with their space elevator
So we move to the next stage of humanity. North Korea
The tiring wastes resources for the world to be
Silver back in their imaginary band..
