EVA #4 (Massimino, Good)
For those that don't know, both are "Mike's" so they'll be known by their nicknames of "Mass" and "Bueno".

From nasa.gov:
Space shuttle Atlantis' crew awoke today to New York State of Mind by Billy Joel at 5:31 a.m. EDT. The song was played for Mission Specialist Mike Massimino.

Updates on HST scientific instruments from the execute package:
We ran the ACS functional test tonight with great results. The first part of the functional test
dealt with the new hardware, and this part passed with flying colors. The new CEB-R
controlling the WFC channel is working with significantly less noise than before. The second
part tested the entire ACS instrument and it hit a snag when we tried to backpower the HRC
channel. So early test results say we have an operational ACS with a functioning WFC
detector.
COS successfully completed its functional test. All electronic and mechanical systems along
with the detector are operating beautifully. We believe this instrument is now running better
than the PI, who is on his fourth glass of champagne.

I would like to ask for sth.. yesterday after moving John and his mate to airlock I have found that note (dont ask me from where
) :
"EVA ENDS. Repressurization of the shuttle's airlock module began at 4:11 p.m. EDT, marking the official end of today's spacewalk"
I thought that the official mark for finished EVA is switchin both astronauts from their battery in EMUs to shuttle net, furthmore I thought that in this way it happend on ISS so far. So how it goes ?

Yeah, its a bit confusing. EVA start is when they switch to EMU battery power, but the end is when re-pressurisation of the airlock begins.
At the end of the EVA after the airlock hatch is closed, they switch to external (orbiter) power source and a little while later switch comms from radio to a wired link (at which point we no longer hear the ongoing procedure callouts by the astronauts). A few minutes later the re-pressurisation begins, so officially ending the EVA.
This is how it is done for ISS EVAs as well.
