NASA seeks commercial ideas for Hubble servicing
Reported options include boosting Hubble to at least 600 kilometers or bringing it down in a controlled reentry.
TLDR
NASA is gathering commercial ideas for Hubble servicing. Reported options include boosting the telescope to at least 600 kilometers, improving its performance or guiding a controlled reentry. Hubble has no propulsion system, and reported NASA estimates put its chance of reentry at 10 percent by September 2032 and 50 percent by December 2033. The agency is requesting information, not mission proposals.
