NASA Seeks Proposals to Extend or Deorbit Hubble Space Telescope's Mission

NASA is soliciting proposals from private companies to potentially boost the Hubble Space Telescope into a higher orbit, upgrade its systems, or safely deorbit it. This initiative aims to prolong the operational life of the 35-year-old observatory, which is gradually losing altitude and could re-enter Earth's atmosphere as early as 2033 or 2034.
