N/A STS-31 B McCandless 00 00 04/24/90: HST Launch 0 EVAs K Sullivan McCandless and Sullivan were suited up for an EVA when one of Hubble's solar arrays failed to unfurl as expected. Controllers later coaxed it open without needing a spacewalk.

29* STS-61 S Musgrave 07 53 12/02/93: HST Servicing Mission 1 5 EVAs J Hoffman 06 47 07 21 First mision with five spacewalks; astronauts installed the WFPC-2, COSTAR, four gyroscopes, gyro electronics and (*29th US T Akers 06 35 two new solar arrays. All mission objectives were accomplished, correcting HST's flawed optics. flight with an K Thornton 06 50 EVA; STS EVAs = 27) STS-61 TOTAL 35 26

35 STS-82 M Lee 06 42 02/11/97: HST Servicing Mission 2 5 EVAs S Smith 07 11 05 17 Four EVAs originally planned; fifth EVA added to repair peeling and flaking insulation. Objectives included G Harbaugh 07 27 installation of STIS, NICMOS, a fine guidance sensor, a solid-state recorder and a reaction wheel assembly (RWA- J Tanner 06 34 1). All objectives accomplished.

STS-82 TOTAL 33 11
