Altman operated the shuttle's to support extravehicular activities and rendezvoused with and captured using the twice for inspections. The mission covered 3.9 million miles in 165 orbits. Altman's final mission, , launched on May 11, 2009, aboard as commander for the fifth and final Hubble servicing mission (SM4). This 13-day endeavor involved five consecutive spacewalks accumulating 36 hours and 56 minutes, during which the crew repaired the Advanced Camera for Surveys, replaced the Imaging Spectrograph, installed new batteries, gyroscopes, and a Cosmic Origins Spectrograph, and conducted repairs to extend Hubble's operational life into the 2020s. Altman again managed operations and maneuvers, grappling Hubble for seven days of work in Atlantis' payload bay. The shuttle completed 197 orbits, traveling 5.3 million miles, before landing on May 24, 2009. Across these missions, Altman accumulated 51 days, 12 hours, and 47 minutes in space, supporting over 40 hours of spacewalk time through command and robotic operations that enabled critical repairs and installations.
