1. Astronaut F. Story Musgrave, anchored on the end of the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm, prepares to be elevated to the top of the towering Hubble Space Telescope to install protective covers on magnetometers. Astronaut Jeffrey A. Hoffman (bottom of frame) assisted Musgrave with final servicing tasks on the telescope, wrapping up five days of extravehicular activities (EVA) during the first servicing mission. 2. Orbiting Earth at an altitude of 356 nautical miles, perched atop a foot restraint on the Space Shuttle Endeavour's Remote Manipulator System arm, astronauts F. Story Musgrave (top) and Jeffrey A. Hoffman wrap up the final of five extravehicular activities. The west coast of Australia forms the backdrop for the 35mm frame.

Here are a couple of dramatic pics from the final spacewalk of Hubble Servicing Mission 1 on Dec 9, 1993.
NASA astronaut F. Story Musgrave is anchored at the end of the Shuttle's Remote Manipulator System (RMS) arm in both pics.
Astronaut Jeffrey A. Hoffman (bottom of frame in pic 1) assisted Musgrave with final servicing tasks on that day.
