NASA Seeks Commercial Proposals for Hubble Telescope Servicing

NASA has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to the commercial sector, seeking proposals for potential servicing of the Hubble Space Telescope. The agency is exploring options to extend Hubble's scientific operational lifetime by boosting its orbit, enhancing its capabilities, or ensuring a safe re-entry or disposal. Hubble's orbit is decaying, with re-entry predicted for 2033-2034, making its future a key consideration for ongoing astronomical research.
