NASA asks public for ideas to rescue Hubble telescope

Original: NASA is asking for ideas to rescue Hubble

NASA has issued a call for proposals on how to save the Hubble Space Telescope, which has been gradually losing altitude in orbit. The agency is inviting outside ideas — from companies, researchers and the public — on ways to boost the telescope to a higher orbit or otherwise extend its life. The news is drawing wide attention among space enthusiasts, with debate over whether private spacecraft could realistically service the aging observatory.

Why now: NASA's open call for outside ideas on saving the iconic telescope is new and unexpected, prompting wide discussion about Hubble's future.
