NASA explores ways to extend Hubble's life

Original: Hubble ma jeszcze sporo do pokazania, więc NASA sprawdza, czy można dać mu więcej czasu. 29 października 2026 roku agenc

NASA has asked companies about the possibility of servicing the Hubble Space Telescope in orbit. On 29 October 2026 the agency issued a request exploring options such as raising the telescope's orbit and carrying out work to improve its capabilities. The move suggests officials believe the veteran observatory still has significant scientific value despite its age, and could keep operating well beyond current expectations.

Why now: NASA has just opened the door to privately servicing the aging Hubble telescope, extending its scientific lifespan.
