The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) is seen on its berthing platform on the rear of the cargo bay of the Columbia Orbiter. Additional footage shows the port solar array of the HST as well as the area where the new thermal blanket was installed. Mission Specialists James Newman and Michael J. Massimino are performing their spacewalk. The footage includes Newman unbolting and sliding out the Faint Object Camera, moving it into storage, then lifting the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) out of the cargo bay, and Massimino installing the ACS. The second stage of their spacewalk shows Newman retrieving the Electronic Support Module out of the cargo bay, and assisting Massimino as he installs the module and its connectors in front of the ACS. As they return to Columbia, additional members of the crew are seen preparing spacesuits for the following day's spacewalk and cleaning the seals on the airlock. The video concludes with Pilot Duane G. Carey interviewing Massimino about his spacewalk using internet questions from school children.
