NASA Explores Commercial Servicing Options for Hubble

Original: NASA Explores Potential Commercial Servicing for Hubble Telescope

NASA is studying whether a commercial partnership could extend the life of the Hubble Space Telescope. The idea, revived from a 2022 SpaceX feasibility study, would involve private companies boosting Hubble's orbit or servicing its systems, which have degraded since the shuttle missions ended. The move reflects NASA's growing reliance on commercial space providers for major science missions.

Why now: NASA has publicly reopened the question of privately servicing the aging Hubble telescope
