Kyle Herring/Mission Control: The crew of Atlantis. Commander Scott Altman,

00:00:09.000 --> 00:00:20.000
followed by Pilot Greg Johnson.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:24.000
Michael Good, mission specialist, performed two spacewalks on the mission.

00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.000
Megan McArthur, the flight engineer of the mission, conducted the bulk

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:30.000
of the robotic arm operations.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:35.000
John Grunsfeld, the lead spacewalker for the flight, joined with

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:38.000
Drew Feustel on three of the spacewalks.

00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:46.000
Mike Massimino. And Megan McArthur finishing her first flight into space,

00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:52.000
serving as the flight engineer aboard Atlantis, also the lead robotics officer

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:55.000
for the mission.

00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:59.000
Scott Altman completed his fourth flight into space.

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:05.000
John Grunsfeld, there on the left, completed his fifth mission.

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:11.000
And Greg Johnson completed his first flight with STS-125.

00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:18.000
The crew traditional walk around of the vehicle. Atlantis completed its

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.000
30th flight into space.

00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:28.000
Mike Massimino, there on the left, completed his second flight into space.

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:33.000
He joined Grunsfeld and Altman on the last servicing mission

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:39.000
to the Hubble Space Telescope in March 2002.

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:44.000
Scott Altman/STS-125 Commander: Alright, well, when we got down to Florida,

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:47.000
I looked at everybody and said,

00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:54.000
'At last!' I didn't realize it was going to be so hard to get back to the Earth in the end.

00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:59.000
So again, I guess I say the same thing, 'At last!' We're back on the ground.

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:05.000
It's great to be here at Edwards Air Force Base and NASA Dryden.

00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.000
Having this facility for us to come home to today is just awesome.

00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:14.000
It was beautiful weather. We saw the field from about 100 miles out.

00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:18.000
And landing here just felt great to everybody.

00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:21.000
So we're all thrilled to have the mission complete.

00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:26.000
It was a testament to the teamwork and cooperation of folks all across the country.

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:30.000
And we want to express our thanks to everybody. Especially to Edwards,

00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:34.000
for all the folks who supported us, providing us a place to land and

00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:39.000
aren't too upset about us taking up their runway for a few hours today.

00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.000
So again, thanks to everybody. We're going to go do some baseline data collection,

00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:48.000
jump in the van and head off to do that. So have a great day.

00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:52.000
We're thrilled to be here. It's beautiful. Thank you so much.

00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.000
