Think you can save the Hubble Space Telescope? NASA wants to know.
- Think you can save the Hubble Space Telescope? NASA wants to know.
NASA wants a Hubble reboost to at least 373 miles, up from the current 292 miles, with the mission expected to happen by 2032. Responses to the request are due November 30, and without a rescue the telescope is predicted to reenter around 2033 or 2034
Fitting that Hubble keeps needing rescues. Its mirror was ground to the wrong shape because a single 1mm washer was left in the test rig, and the 1993 fix (COSTAR) was partly inspired by a hotel showerhead.
