NASA Seeks Industry Solutions to Save the Hubble Space Telescope

NASA issued a Request for Information on October 29 to survey industry capabilities for in-space servicing to support the Hubble Space Telescope. The agency is reopening the search for commercial missions to raise the telescope's orbit or service it, after more than two years of rejecting similar concepts. This matters to readers because projections suggest the telescope could re-enter uncontrolled between 2033 and 2034.
